“…James (1985) referred to religion as an essential part of life and attributed human excellence to a combination of intellect and spiritual inspiration. Jung's (1938) description of healthy religion is similar to the contemporary view of spirituality described above, and he regarded the acquisition or reacquisition of a religious outlook on life as integral to complete recovery from psychological problems.…”

The relationship between perfectionism and religiosity is clarified when the adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of both constructs are compared. Literature in both areas implicates the idea of a rigid and inflexible personality style as a possible mediator in the relationship. This investigation examined the relationship of perfectionism and religiosity, using adaptive and maladaptive dimensions, as mediated by psychological inflexibility.Measures of perfectionism, religiosity, and psychological inflexibility were given to 376 undergraduate college students in an anonymous online survey. Adaptive perfectionism was found to be significantly correlated with adaptive religiosity.Maladaptive perfectionism was found to be significantly correlated with maladaptive religiosity. Psychological inflexibility was found to be significantly correlated with the maladaptive dimensions of both perfectionism and religiosity. It was also shown to iv mediate the relationship between maladaptive religiosity and maladaptive perfectionism using the test of mediation proposed by Baron and Kenny. Implications and future directions are discussed.(86 pages) v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Resumo: A literatura especializada vem identificando influências positivas e negativas de crenças religiosas e espirituais no enfrentamento de enfermidades, tais como o câncer. Sendo assim, a presente investigação teve como objetivo conhecer, analisar e compreender as concepções de profissionais da saúde acerca da associação entre religiosidade, espiritualidade e saúde em Oncologia. Em uma primeira etapa, utilizou-se um questionário eletrônico, respondido por 85 profissionais. Na etapa posterior, sete profissionais participaram de grupos focais online. Os resultados indicaram que aproximadamente metade dos participantes da primeira etapa não praticam atividades religiosas. Porém, 85% revelaram grau elevado de espiritualidade. Temas religiosos/ espirituais são frequentes nos atendimentos. Os integrantes dos grupos relataram não ter recebido formação acadêmica para abordar a temática. Em suma, os participantes evidenciaram concepções positivas sobre a influência da religiosidade/ espiritualidade para a saúde, com efeitos negativos em menor proporção. Pesquisas futuras podem subsidiar programas destinados à capacitação dos futuros profissionais da área oncológica.Palavras-chave: Religiosidade. Espiritualidade. Enfrentamento. Câncer. Profissionais da saúde.

James famous cross-credal categorization of four psychic dimensions (Ineffability, Noetic quality, Transiency, and Passivity) 22 were fundamental as well for Husserl and the phenomenological movement, as for Wittgenstein.…”

The philosophical horizon of this essay is theoretically comparative and hermeneutically dialogic. Its main philosophical and theological tonality expresses, in first person and through three discursive moments, the differentiated fusion of horizons between phenomenological and grammatical description and understanding of experience. After a philosophical overture-outlining the éthos of the dialogic problematic and situating it within the contemporary diverse and dialogic dynamic of phenomenology-I will expose the consistent, possible modalities of convergence between Husserlian phenomenology and Wittgensteinian grammar of the mystical shapes of experience. The tense, responsorial dialogue among Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas, and Wittgenstein's styles of thinking, far from being anymore limited to the debates between the analytical and phenomenological, will be considered from the crossed categorial spaces of Austrian philosophy and German culture in general. In a second section, I will show how the styles of phenomenology today are advancing into a cautious micro-logical grammar of comparative inquiry. This thematization will first consider some precise semantic clarifications: Experience, the mystical, extasis, evidence, and truth; in a second section, the theoretical levels of grammar and phenomenology of mystical experience are heralded in the context of the Christian theological dialogue, where I emphasize the rebirth of French theological thinking and dialogic transcendence, beginning with Maritain and de Chardin to Marcel, de Lubac, Levinas, and Marion. Finally, I consider the aesthetic expressions of mystical experience, both from the visual and musical dimensions. I will conclude this talk by highlighting theological perspectives drawn from my research in musico-philosophical problematics, through an awakening to the resonance of Being and the Divine in sonic and musical life. Through a theology of the musical λογος, the grammar of mystical experience reveals the sacramentality of music and the mystery of silence.
