Overview - Library - Bookstore - Links FREE DOWNLOAD!Evolution of the Human Soul by Terri O'Fallon, Ph.D. Excerpts from Spiritual direction as a profession has expanded and grown throughout the centuries, and most spiritual lineages have directors, guides, or soul friends to support the laity (Empereur 23). As a field, spiritual direction continues to grow and develop, adding the insights from other knowledge areas and expanding its reach to all spiritual paths. The work herein simply falls into that continued expansion by further exploring the integration of the understanding and research of adult developmental levels with spiritual direction practices. In chapter 1 of this thesis, I will provide a history of the inclusion of psychological and developmental practices in spiritual direction. Next will be the introduction to developmental structure stages, which includes a definition of terms. A more specific overview of the developmental patterns that wind their way through the developmental stages will be delineated, followed by a brief foray into the field of spiritual guidance and some of its lineages, including definitions of spiritual terms that will be used throughout the thesis and spiritual patterns that arise. Lastly will be a section that integrates the developmental stages with the state stages. Chapter 1 forms an underpinning for chapter 2, which will center on how this developmental understanding can support spiritual guides from all lineages and traditions in their work with those they guide.
