I am taking the charge of 'Samiksha' - The Indian Journal of Psychoanalysis, in a very difficult situation. Within last two years, we have lost active senior members and some of our work force either due to death or sickness or transfer of some other places due to their job requirement. We are now left with some new, inexperience but sincere members to run the society. We lost Mrs. V. Bhansali last year (2004) untimely. She herself a very dedicated and sincere member, was a source of sustenance. The only one who always helped our society in crisis - be it financial, library, or any work irrespective of its status. She always stretched her hands without thinking twice, if that was required. I expect to have your cooperation as you have been doing since the time of Mr. H. Ghosal and Dr. D.N. Nandi. I am thrilled to take the charge of Samiksha, but I am apprehensive of running it effectively, as I am totally novice in the area. So from this issue, 1 am introducing a new section "From the Reader's Desk", where I would like you all to comment on the articles published in Samiksha to help me to improve it further, [t can be reactions, or comments on articles published in the issue or simply suggestions.

Cunningham, PhD Lucille Byno, PhD ii Copyright © 2020 by Collins I. Anaeche All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT MARITAL SATISFACTION OF COUPLES IN HETEROSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS WHERE THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN SPIRITUALITY Collins Ifeanyichukwu Anaeche Antioch University New England Keene, NH As the dynamics of the United States’ social landscape shifts in relation to the diversity of culture, ethnicity, values, and traditions, and as religion and spirituality have become highly diverse and fluid, diversity in spirituality has received limited attention in the field of marriage and family therapy. Utilizing an interpretative phenomenological analysis, this qualitative investigation explores common meanings and experiences of emotional intimacy of couples in heterosexual relationships where there are differences in spirituality. Overall, the results of this investigation demonstrate that in situations where heterosexual couples who display differences in spirituality attentively attuned to their individual and relational needs, their emotional intimacy satisfaction was enhanced; in situations where couples’ attentiveness to their spirituality and religious differences was undermined, their individual needs suffered, and their emotional intimacy was impeded.

  • Examining Contemporary Congregational Song – Beyond Sung Theology
    Examining contemporary congregational song – beyond sung theology By Fay Rosalind Magee Qualifications B Mus, B Ed St (Univ of Qld) Grad Dip Theol (MCD) L Mus A (piano) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts MCD University of Divinity 30 June 2012 ABSTRACT Examining contemporary congregational song – beyond sung theology What Christians sing as they worship is a focus of considerable attention in the contemporary church and yet it has been a contentious issue at almost every period of Christian history. Since the mid-twentieth century, significant social, cultural, and technological changes, all against a backdrop of increasing global consciousness, have affected the way music functions and the ways opinions about repertoire and performance practices are formed. The primary focus of this project is the analysis of eight songs composed between 1983 and 2001. The essential question is how musical analysis contributes to a greater understanding of the nature of contemporary congregational song and various performance practices. This project will focus on analysis of harmonic structures as the major element. This will provide a framework from which comparisons of other musical elements can lead to a greater awareness of the issues of music and worship, and of music and theology. Developing a greater understanding of how music works enables more receptive and discerning listening and participation. The more difficult aspect of congregational song, that of it being not just ‘sung theology’, can be explored to some degree from a clearer understanding of the musical and textual components and their interrelationship. Various writers are contributing significant insights to how music itself provides meaning and thus how the singing of congregational songs contains and conveys meaning.
