“…Each theoretical framework generally flows from one of three distinct epistemologies—the individualizing, the ecosystemic, and the poststructural. This aligns somewhat with Larsen’s (1992, as cited in Horton, 2000) conceptualization of three distinct identities that individuals carry within themselves: an individual identity, a group identity, and a universal sense of connectedness with humanity. In alignment with Kuhnian thought, Dickerson (2010) concurred that it is impossible to integrate theories across epistemologies, but stated that a variety of theories can be integrated within one of these three epistemological positions.…”

Individuals with disabilities continue to experience exclusion from mainstream contexts amid stereotypical constructions of disability as an inferior status. To address these inequities, we contend that the ramifications for both theory and praxis in disability research rests heavily on the way in which disability is theorized. In this article, we draw on the findings of a narrative inquiry as a context to frame an alternative theoretical model for disability research at both individual and social levels. We propose the efficacy of an integrated theoretical approach using the vehicle of narrative inquiry to present alternative stories by individuals with disabilities themselves. In alignment with a poststructuralist epistemology, we propose the addition of Lacanian psychoanalysis to address the construct of internalized oppression felt at an individual psychological level. We conclude that the epistemological and ontological lens through which research is conceptualized has the power either to subjugate or to emancipate individual experience.

“…Shafranske and Malony (1990) found that over 90% of clinical psychologists indicated that education in religious issues during training rarely or never occurred; Prest et al (1999) found similarly for family therapists. The current participants' practice of maintaining their psychodynamic approach and providing appropriate 'room' for respectful exploration of clients' religious issues may be part of what Horton (1998) calls working towards personal integration.…”

This article supports a case for an increased research focus upon and within counsellor training with consideration of the counsellor's religious orientation. This aspect of professional diversity was investigated via in-depth interviews with eight religiously-committed psychodynamic counsellors. Their accounts of experiences in training, supervision, personal therapy and professional practice were subjected to qualitative analysis using grounded theory methods. Three major themes were identi ed: changes occurring in participants' religiosity; aspects of disclosure of personal religious commitment; and the non-inclusion of religious issues within the counsellor training process. The latter theme emerged considerably more forcefully than the others, and produced an array of questions to stimulate further research.

“…Having critically evaluated aspects of the practice of the Waverley model, it was important to also evaluate the ontological and epistemological underpinning of the approach. Since a person's worldview sets out how they construct reality, perceive truth and in addition make meaning in the world (Horton, 2000;Nason, 2015), I wanted to ensure that the counselling programme would be underpinned by a Christian worldview and that it specifically set out a Christian understanding of what it means to be a human person. I therefore decided to retain Hughes' ontological and epistemological underpinning of the model, including the concept that human beings are created in the image of God, imago Dei.…”

Abbey College has been involved with university-validated courses since 1998, offering a BA in Counselling since 2010, then developing master's courses and, more recently, the MA in Spiritual Formation. Part of the college's purpose is to integrate Christian faith into the practice of learning in a higher education environment, utilising the best contemporary models of professional and academic practice 1 . The Waverley Abbey College Journal is a development of this vision. There is a paucity of literature that tackles the integration of secular knowledge, such as counselling or psychotherapy, with a Christian understanding, particularly from a British perspective, and limited British empirical research on disciplines such as counselling, spiritual formation, pastoral care, and other helping approaches. The journal seeks to contribute to scholarly knowledge and research of the various disciplines in dialogue with a Christian perspective. It is published biannually and is available free of charge via the college website. Journal scope and aims• To promote the advancement of knowledge and practice in diverse areas of practice (e.g., Christian counselling, pastoral work, spiritual formation, public leadership) through scholarly work (e.g., primary research, book reviews, theoretical, conceptual, critical literature reviews, systematic reviews, and reflective and applied articles) that engages with a Christian perspective.• To support students, tutors, alumni, and authors in providing an opportunity for publication and dissemination of scholarly work that engages with a Christian perspective.• To support the work of the college in line with the college's vision and mission statement.
