Brokenness and Grace

  • Published: 2024-10-31

  • Publisher: BRILL

In an era where contemporary education often neglects the complexities of brokenness, evil, and sin, this volume offers a pioneering examination of these concepts through a theological lens. Roel Kuiper and Bram de Muynck curate contributions from distinguished scholars across pedagogy, psychology, philosophy, and theology to reintegrate notions of grace, forgiveness, and hope into educational discourse. Addressing manifestations of evil and suffering within educational settings, this interdisciplinary work provides educators with theoretical and practical frameworks to enhance human flourishing. By bridging historical and contemporary perspectives, this book seeks to enrich educational theory and practice with profound, holistic approaches to human formation.

The Sociocultural Context of Psychosocial Interventions

Across diverse academic fields, scholars and practitioners are engaged in developing interventions to promote outcomes like health and quality of life. Indeed, such is the apparent efficacy of such interventions, that there are many policy-led initiatives to implement these at national and international scales. However, few scholars or practitioners have thought in any systematic and critical way about the importance of contextualizing these interventions, i.e., considering how the impact of such interventions may be affected and mediated by specific sociocultural factors (from gender, to ethnicity and socio-economics). The aim of the Research Topic “The Sociocultural Context of Psychosoci...

Since the turn of the twenty-first century, the field of positive psychology has sought to implement a science of human flourishing so that we may lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

  • Publisher: Routledge

This comprehensive volume provides crucial insights from contemporary academics and practitioners into how positive interventions might be made into post-secular political spaces that have emerged in the wake of the economic, political, and social upheavals of the 2008 global financial crisis. The failure of liberal democracy to deal effectively with such challenges has led to scapegoating of the poor, immigrants, and Muslims, and contributed to the populist electoral success of, among others, the Leave campaign during the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, and Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign. These shocks have highlighted contemporary political spaces defined b...

The Routledge International Handbook of Psychoanalysis and Philosophy

The Routledge International Handbook of Psychoanalysis and Philosophy provides a rich panoramic view of what philosophy offers or disturbs in psychoanalysis and what it represents for psychoanalytic theory and practice. The thirty-three chapters present a broad range of interfaces and reciprocities between various aspects of psychoanalysis and philosophy. It demonstrates the vital connection between the two disciplines: psychoanalysis cannot make any practical sense if it is not entirely perceived within a philosophical context. Written by a team of world-leading experts, including established scholars, psychoanalysts and emerging talents, the Handbook investigates and discusses the psychoan...
