Symposium

Christian Psychology is for me a kind of
psychology that puts the dignity of the per-
son, as being a son of the Trinitarian God,
at the center of psychotherapy. The source
of any transformative process in psychothe-
rapy comes always from God with whom
one is in a relationship. It involves always
a significant amount of free will and it
implies the existence of moral principles
revealed by God. Personality in Christian
psychology is fulfilled in self-giving love,
in ultimate union with God and in love of
other humans.

The 14th Symposium

of EMCAPP

September 10th – 13th 2015

Christian approaches to Person and the
Meaning for Therapy and Counseling

I remember with joy the human depths to which our symposium in Heiloo took our professional
and Christian lives. Perhaps it was because Charles Zeiders led by saying he would speak as a
psychologist-poet, not as an academic. Perhaps this opened people’s hearts to take risks? It was a
unique experience of trust and flexibility, with forgiveness and grace in response.
