Swindal, Ph.D. Dean, McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts iii ABSTRACT A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN, REVISITED: AN EXISTENTIAL-HERMENEUTIC STUDY OF FEMALE SOLITUDE By Karin Leah Arndt December 2013 Dissertation supervised by Eva Simms, Ph.D. This study presents an existential-hermeneutic analysis of nine women’s first- person accounts of extended periods of solitude. The accounts were analyzed along the five existential dimensions of spatiality, temporality, embodiment, language, and co- existentiality, producing a rich portrait of the women’s lived experience of solitude. One of the first-person accounts was provided by the author of the study, who underwent three solitary retreats in the interest of this project, adding an autoethnographic component to the work. Theory from the existential-phenomenological, monastic, ecopsychological, and feminist literatures was applied to the data, enabling us to interpret the significance of the shifts the women experienced through an interdisciplinary set of lenses. The women experienced both subtle and profound shifts in their senses of self and modes of being in the world over the course of their retreats. In the absence of direct iv human relations, the women developed greater intimacy with things, non-human beings, and the Divine. Through the practice of simplicity, the women cultivated humility and more contemplative modes of seeing, revealing previously hidden contours of the material world and fostering a child-like sense of wonder. By leaving clock time and slowing down, the women became increasingly oriented toward the present moment, entrained to the rhythms of the natural world, and attuned to their desire. By retreating from the gaze of the (human) other, the women worked to heal a sense of alienation from their own bodies, experienced a respite from feminine performativity, and came to move through the world more seamlessly and comfortably. And by observing silence, the women cultivated the ability to listen beyond the human conversation and the chattering of their own minds, developed a more sacred relationship to language, confronted their emotional “demons,” and found themselves increasingly drawn toward the poetic. Overall, through their solitudes, the women developed a greater stance of receptivity toward the more-than-human world, deconstructed elements of identity and modes of being aligned with the “false self,” and recovered aspects of their lived experience which had been neglected or suppressed over the course of becoming an adult, and especially a woman, in the context of contemporary American culture. v DEDICATION To the old woman living on the edge of the village, this has always been for you vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you first and foremost to my family – to Mom, Dad, Patty, and Kristin – who have been my ever faithful cheerleaders through the years.

  • Feminist Studies in Psychology: an Overview Bonnie J
    Research R epot Feminist Studies in Psychology: An Overview Bonnie j. Miller-McLemore most of the history of modern psychology, men more than women ٠٢? speculated about the nature of human growth and fulfillment. Their subjects were most often other men. £ven when women were subjects, conclusions ultimately rested upon male models and ideals, ?sychologists became accustomed to seeing life “through men’s eyes,” as Carol Gilligan has said so well. Women were basically excluded “from critical theory- building studies,” whether of human sexuality, cognitive development, or moral stages.* Likewise, in everyday life, “women’s reality” or ideas and understandings commonly held by women were all too often labeled “sick, bad, crazy, stupid, ugly, or incompetent.” The “White Male Sys- tem,” explained psychotherapist Anne Wilson Schaef, sets the normative agenda for human behavior and health.* Gilligan and Schaef are only a few of the people now churning out research in psychology that challenges the normativity of male experience and provides new understandings of gender, sexuality, selfhood, growth, and fulfillment. This research has only just begun to affect pastoral practice and theological language. Many clergy and other professionals now recognize that they must understand women and men within more inclusive psychological and theological frameworks. Ultimately these new frameworks have the power to transform divine imagery and devotional practices. As requested by the editors of the International Journal of Practical Theology, my intent is to report on this relatively new and growing body of literature in the United States and to indicate some of its implications for practical theology. Since a research report such as this cannot cover all of the publications and trends of the past three decades, I will attempt to provide a taste of the major developments through attention to prominent works.* I will give more attention to early and pivotal works, in part York ١٧^^ :Carol Gilligan, quoted by Francine Frose, Confident at 11, Confused at 16, in 1 .

  • Lo Transpersonal E Integral En Psicoterapia John Rowan
    Transpersonal and Integral in Psychotherapy John Rowan Transpersonal and Integral in Psychotherapy Lo Transpersonal e Integral en Psicoterapia John Rowan* British Psychological Society London, UK Abstract This paper delineates the Ken Wilber (2006) model of approaches to the world, including therapy. He calls it the All Quadrants All Levels (AQAL) approach, which includes the whole world in its boundaries. This means that we can now do justice to the whole of the client and all the connections that may be relevant. What I have done is to spell out the relevance of all this for therapy, and to add two levels which Wilber does not include in the model, even though he has described them in detail elsewhere. The result is a fuller model which is even more relevant to therapists, and particularly to transpersonal therapists. Key Words Transpersonal, Wilber, Quadrants, Levels, Therapy Resumen Este artículo describe el modelo descriptivo del mundo descrito por Ken Wilber (2006), incluyendo la terapia. Él lo llama Modelo de los Cuadrantes “Omnicuadrante, Omninivel” (AQAL), el cual comprende al mundo entero y sus límites. Esto significa que ahora podemos atender integralmente a todos los estados y conexiones que pueden ser relevantes en la persona. Lo que en este artículo desarrollo es una descripción minuciosa de la importancia que todo esto tiene, para la terapia. Además he añadido dos niveles, los cuales Wilber no incluye en el modelo, aunque los ha descrito en detalle en otro lugar. La conclusión es el resultado de un modelo más completo y relevante para terapeutas, especialmente para terapeutas transpersonales.
