CLIENT CHECKLIST:SUMMARY ............ BIBLIOGRAPHY ........................................................................... 23 7 vii Spiritual direction is a very old tem used to describe the practice of spintual guidance given to a directee by a spintual director. The purpose of spiritual direction is to enable a directee to explore and enhance their understanding and relationship with their God. In group spirituai direction the group leader facilitates the participants to provide spiritual guidance. The group is empowered to aire for one another. In each session one group member claims the session and becomes the directee, while the others provide the spiritual guidance. The group spiritual direction program endeavors to meet the spiritual needs of the specifïc group members. Group spintual direction is reIatively new and there is nothhg written on its use with people with mental health problems. This thesis is prophetic in that it is the sharing of research that proves the value of group spiritual direction in helping the heaiing process of people diagnosed with mild to moderate depression. The preferred treatrnent of depressed persons is cognitive therapy and change is accomplished through addt leaming. In this thesis project the group members were coached in the use of cognitive therapy to address the spintual needs of the member who chose to be the directee in any given session. The mode1 of learning is an adult mode1 and leaniing was facilitated through the practice of reflection, and is known as Transfomative Leaming. This research, through qualitative and quantitative methodology, has show that group spiritual direction irnproves the mood of the clients who are mildly to moderately depressed. This Thesis was wmpleted with great perseverance and the fZt.hfU support of my wife, Doreen, my children, Gordon and Carolyn, and my dog Shadow. Much of the on- site supervision was done by my Ministry Supervisor, Sr. Dolores Hall, who supported and encouraged my work over the two year period of the thesis phase of the Doctor of Ministry Program. The Health Care Corporation of St. John's provided the clinical setting for this research. The staff of the Pastoral Care Department, especiaiiy Dr. Rick Singleton, Theresa Ryan, and Bernadette Murray, were especially supportive and helpftl. The staff of the Community Mental Heaith Assessrnent and Treatment Division of the Mental Hdth Program, specifidy Judy Power, Manager, who assisteci the researcher by approving the research project, by referring clients, and by providing space at LeMarchant House for the group sessions. The research project was approved by the Human Investigation Commîttee, and special thanks to Fmnkie O'Neill for assihg me in this process. Thanks also to Dr. Hassan Khalili for agreeing to be the local research advisor. The quantitative analysis of the research data was compileci by Bill Kane, M-Sc., psychologist . In the early stages of the research an advisory group consisting of Sr. Marie Ryan, Bert Fowlow, Bette Davis, Neil Quigiey, and Sr. Diane Smyth met to assist with the formulation of the goals and objectives. Also Dr. Penny Alderdice provided assistance with the literature search and facilitateci the acquisition of numerous articles, as weii as being of great encouragement in the process. The writing of the thesis was supported and encouraged by feliow Doctor of Ministry candidate, Rev. Philip Behrnan, Alberta, who acted as a mentor and guide with his regular e-mail messages. In addition Dr. Bernard O'Dwyer offered critique on the stmchire and composition of the thesis. Permission to use the Spiritual Experience Index-Revised was given by the author, Dr. Vickie Genia of Arnerican University, to whom 1offer my thanks. Rev.

The challenge is also tme of the traditional instrument of pastoral care, the Church, who often hesitate to access assistance when the mentally iii have spirihial needs. People with mental ihess resist seeking extemal help including help from God, because they generdy have low self-esteem and consider themselves unwonhy of assistance. Thinking in absolutes, they see themselves negatively which affects their spintuaiity- This negativity may be evident in their lack of focus or feelings of hopelessness. Those who derfiom depression as an illness may prefer to condemn themselves and theù Go4 rather than conside~gthe possibility of being cared for by a loving God. Self confidence is impaired by their condition and consequently the lack of energy or motivation necessary to address spintual issues conf?onting them is also fnistrating. The combination of these factors regardiing the mentaiiy iii contribute to making ministry to the mentally iil a unique one requiring special skills. 1 have endeavored to prepare myseif personaliy and professionaiiy for the challenges of this special rninistry. Early in my years of rninistry in the health care field 1 realized that if1 could respond appropriately to the spiritual needs of the mentally dl, then 1 would also respond effkctively to the spiritual needs of those who are weli. The chaUenge of assessing spirituai needs of the mentaiIy il1 and endeavoring to respond with effective treatment or prograrns became my goal. 1 felt it was inappropriate to settle for the traditionai pastoral me, ministry of visitation. Much more is needed. While psychiatrie care is, in essence- the care of the psyche, and necessary for the ment* ill, invariably these people require a pater care, one that is spirituai, and gives special attention to the soul. My desire to take on the spintual care of the mentally iil inspird rny research for this project. Appropriate pastoral care dehered by capable and

    Ano XVI - 2007 - NÚMERO 97 Ano XVI 2007 - R$ 0,00 NÚMERO 97 ISSN 1415 - 2460 ISSN Mallu Magalhães De hype da internet a revelação do mundo real White Lion - Instiga - Tremião - Nelson Triunfo Vampiros e Piratas – Agnostic Front - Neto Trindade Pitty - O Quarto das Cinzas - Cultura Digital Junho / 2008 Junho / 2008 ÍNDICE JUNHO 2008 15 Tremião 25 Pitty EDITORIAL epois de 15 anos de vida com 16 Mallu Magalhães 26 Neto Trindade 96 edições e de muitos e muitos D estudos, chegou a hora de uma das maiores decisões da história da Dynamite. Devido à excelente repercussão de leitores e downloads da nossa edição 96 - a primeira que disponibilizamos totalmente gratuita 18 Nelson Triunfo 27 Instiga para leitura em nosso site - vimos que o caminho era esse. A partir dessa edição, nossa querida revista vai continuar com mais pique agora e somente online. Sim, isso mesmo: adeus edição impressa, welcome download gratuito! Óbvio que os 28 Cultura Digital crescentes custos de impressão, aliados 20 Vampiros e Piratas à crônica dificuldade de distribuição pesaram na decisão, mas ver que temos mais leitores pela web do que tínhamos pela edição em bancas é a principal constatação que a acessibilidade à informação passa pela Internet. 29 O Quarto das Cinzas 22 White Lion Ironicamente, outra prova disso é nossa capa dessa edição, Mallu Magalhães. De mera desconhecida parcos meses atrás, a garota adolescente se transformou na maior revelação do ano, sendo hypada via Internet, até conquistar os palcos 24 Agnostic Front de todo o Brasil e a veneração de outras mídias (TV, revistas e jornais).
