Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigated the interplay of gender and spirituality in the identity development of women within the religious institution of the Anglican Church of Canada. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to investigate the experiences and meaning making of the participants with regards to their identity development within their religious contexts, in order to better understand the influence of these phenomena on each other and to map a process of identity development that may be particular to women. Analysis revealed a framing theme of intergenerational journey, and the superordinate themes of disruption in integration, differentiation, and authenticity in integration.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health is an interdisciplinary professional journal (retiled from American Journal of Pastoral Counseling to better reflect its broader scope) that is devoted to the scholarly study of spirituality as a resource for counseling and psychotherapeutic disciplines. This peer-reviewed quarterly journal seeks to enhance the understanding of spirituality as a core component of human well-being in individual, relational, and communal life. Leading authorities provide insights into research and effective therapy in an interdisciplinary dialog that crosses the disciplines of psychology, spirituality, theology, sociology, cultural analysis, and other fields.
