Title: Integration
Product review: In this capstone book, Richard Gorsuch builds on decades of careful reflection on the process of integrating spirituality and psychology. It is permeated with hope and practical realism - hope because he believes theologians and psychologists can work together and practical because he thinks integration is more about working on problems together than it is about harmonizing their disciplines. He proposes that the disciplines of theology and psychology are radically different in their methodology and purposes setting the stage for complementarity rather than antagonism. Theologians, he suggests, do well to remain silent about the causes of phobias while scientific psychologists might be cautious about expounding on the meaning and purpose of life. When a discipline knows its limits, each can make a contribution to the greater common good. This is a book worth pondering.
