Looking into the Well: Supervision of Spiritual Directors

Looking into the Well: Supervision of Spiritual Directors

1995 • 328 pages

I read this for class. It is okay. There are things I really like about her. But she is repetitive. And part of what I am not fond of is that the orientation is so strongly toward a clinical training method for spiritual direction I think it encourages an orientation turning spiritual direction into a form of counseling.

On the other hand, we are in a post-Freud world. So there are things that I think do just have to be covered. We do need to pay attention to inappropriate attractions or jealousy, etc.

I also think it could have been reorganized or split so that those that are receiving spiritual direction supervision are not reading the supervision sections. It just seems oddly designed.
