PY 721 - Discernment: Diagnostics, Assessment, and Research in Psychology and SpiritualityPrerequisite(s): PY 720. This course will address both assessment and research in the field of psychology and spirituality. We will begin with the origins of the history of assessment and diagnosis in the "discernment of the spirits" among various traditions. We will explore both formal instruments used to assess spirituality and significance in individual lives, as well as explore the un-thematized spiritual aspects of more commonly used instruments in administrating psychological batteries. We will also explore various kinds of diagnostic discourse used in spiritual assessment (i.e., DSM, Pastoral Diagnoses, etc.), as well as critique the presumptions and practices of diagnosis and assessment by way of various pastoral traditions. As this concentration understands research to also be an activity of assessment, we will also explore various research methodologies and topics in the field of psychology and spirituality in order to facilitate more clarity and options for future projects, including but not limited to the student's dissertation.
