BACKGROUND – Becoming a mother, that is the forty weeks of pregnancy, is a highlighted stage of life for a woman. It is a defining period for both the mother and her child, who is to be born. Furthermore, gestation can be understood as a normative crisis as well, during which numerous psychological problems may evolve. Therefore, the preservation of mental health and support provided for women are especially important in prenatal care. GOALS – The purpose of this study is to examine the role of gratitude, appreciation, subjective well-being, and social support – as momentous constructs of health psychology – in assisting mental health in the lives of pregnant women and to explore the relations between these variables. METHODS – 79 pregnant women participated in our online, qualitative investigation; 36 of them had been writing gratitude diaries for 4 weeks. We compared the questionnaires’ results (filled out both before and after the intervention) of the experimental group (n = 36) with the results of the control group (n = 43) similarly filled out on two different occasions. The following instruments were used in our study: Gratitude, Resentment, and Appreciation Test; Appreciation Scale; Subjective Well-Being Questionnaire; MOS Social Support Survey. RESULTS – Higher appreciation and dispositional gratitude correlates with a higher sense of subjective well-being and a better perception of social support. In the experimental group, writing a gratitude diary was followed by a significant positive change in all questionnaires: the scores for gratitude, appreciation, subjective well-being, and social support increased. CONCLUSIONS – Dispositional gratitude that can be improved by such a simple intervention as writing a gratitude diary is a useful means of supporting the mental health of pregnant women and thereby of preserving and promoting their psychological and physical well-being. Besides medical healthcare, expectant women are in particular need of professional mental support, wherefore it is important not only to maintain their physical health but also to introduce new methods that assist mentally the well-being of pregnant persons.

The Life and Career of Béla Pap, Pastor of the Reformed Church (1907–1957). The name of the martyred Reformed Church pastor Béla Pap has become synonymous with the newspaper Magyar Út (Hungarian Journey), which was a prominent forum of the national-populist writers’ movement that emerged as an unavoidable element of public life in Hungary in the 1930s. He published a number of articles that establish him as a socially sensitive intellectual thinker. He believed in creating a “national-populist” or “progressive” right wing and a modern Hungary. Anti-Semitism formed part of his ideology, but he did not foresee the consequences that eventually lead to the Holocaust. After the war, in the midst of the left’s growing dominance, he opposed the nationalization of schools and the agreement between the state and the church. He stood up for the Reformed Church’s farmer community whose members were branded as “kulaks” and for people who were displaced by the regime. His fate was sealed by his protest against the abolition of ecclesiastical autonomy. He was arrested on 27 November 1951 and sentenced to 4 years and 6 months of prison to be released in the spring of 1956, but he could not return to his pastoral office.

In this article, we examine the usual activities of the Gábor Bethlen Collegium of the Lónyay Street Reformed High School in the 1930s. The records of the weekly gatherings in the first half of the decade offer a unique possibility to gain a deep insight into the personal connections and dynamics or the topics of the gatherings. The youth community discussed almost every „hot topic” of the pre-war Hungarian society such as political issues (national socialism, communism, fascism, or independency and loyalty to the Habsburg dynasty) or social and theological problems.

Local Reformed youth organizations became more and more widespread, with similar organizations functioning in Budapest and Debrecen. After some preparations, the Soli Deo Gloria Reformed Student Union began operating in the boys’ grammar school in the 1932/33 school year, and by the end of the decade, nearly half of the students had participated in its work.

Within the framework of this study, I present the specific resilience-enhancing role and characteristics of helpers, of a professional life path, professional caregivers, and supervising work with special focus on pastoral work, and helper vocation. I examine how the pastoral vocation picture finds its place in the family of helping vocations, how it can be defined in the search for identification, how therapy, education, how professional care appear in almost every aspect of pastoral work, and how vocation care and super success can be adapted in pastoral work. In each chapter, my reflection covers the most important resilience issues, identity issues, the person-centered approach and related concepts. I examine the relationships and methodology of resilience and supervision within the framework of helping occupations in the process of becoming a child, and I discuss how learning appears in the course of professional care along the lines of the ministry. The development of resilient competences in professional care has become important since the regime change, especially in the pastoral profession and in the intertwining of cooperation with assisting professions. Regarding the dialogue, purity and authentic presence of helper vocations and roles, the transparency and pastoral psychological approach of contexts and systems is an increasingly topical direction and issue. Main question: Is there sufficient insight and awareness to examine the respective helping vocations, the pastor's professional life path, his tired or burnt-out personality in the ministry, and his important fighting ability in the midst of crises? Are we looking for preventive ways? Is today’s pastor motivated enough to pay attention to his psychical, spiritual, physical, and social health? If so, how can these be achieved? As a researcher, as an active psychotherapist working with couples and families, as a professional/supervisor, pastor wife, active Christian pastoral and mental health professional, and a pastoral psychologist, I think in several dimensions and systemic perspectives. As a helper, professional care-giver/supervisor, the issue of identity is important. I see spirituality as a kind of “driver” in the process, and I think it is decisive – it can be inspiring, but it can also be disincentive. Calibration is the task of the authentic helper of the time. That is, continuous reflection and self-reflection in a spiritual dimension. The goal is to mature, to fight/cope resiliently. The freedom to jump, the intuitive way, the path of development and learning are puzzle pieces of the spiritual dimension, a space for coping and fulfilment.

Fiction as a Tool. In therapy, we can integrate in our work things that did not happen actually. This is also valid in the case of writing therapy. When a patient accepts a fictional practice, and tries to perform it, it breaks down his own self-defense mechanism more easily. Such a fictional practice could be talking with a body part or bad trait, rewriting the story of a trauma, introducing new characters, or telling the story from a different perspective. A world that does not follow the rules of reality can give an internal liberation that strengthens the self, weakened by external conditions, and heals the damaged self. That is what Celia Hunt’s book, Therapeutic Dimension of Autobiography in Creative Writing, is about, and Thompson Kate in her The Therapeutic Journal Writing. An Introduction for Professionals and James W. Pennebaker and John F. Evans in their Expressive Writing: Words That Heal also devote several chapters specifically to this topic. The most important criteria in this type of writing are to be truly authentic without any role-play.
