The Need for a Biblical Basis for Psychology: Teaching Individuals to Live Together and Personality Adaptations – Kalman Kaplan, Ph.D. and Vann Joines, Ph.D.

 

CHAPEL HILL, NC


Psychotherapy for the most part has been based on Greek ideas and myths.  Eric Wellisch as pointed out:

The central psychoanalytic concept of the formation of character and neurosis is shaped after the Greek Oedipus myth.  It is undoubtedly true that the Greek thinkers possessed an understanding of the human mind which, in some respects, is unsurpassed to the present day, and that the trilogy of Sophocles still presents us with the most challenging problems.

However, the problem is that the Greek view is one of fate and tragic outcome.  The Hebraic or Biblical view by contrast is one of hope, optimism, and positive outcome. As Wellisch points out, “There is need for a Biblical psychology.” This workshop will present such an approach looking at how it transforms our perspective in 10 areas:

1. God, nature and creation
2. man and woman
3. obedience versus disobedience
4. fathers and sons
5. mothers and daughters
6. sibling rivalry and its resolution
7. self and other: cycle versus development
8. body and soul
9. freedom, life and suicide
10. a tragic versus hopeful outlook on life

The TILT model and Personality Adaptations will be used in illustrating this. This workshop is based on a program Dr. Kaplan has developed in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Chicago.
