RLSC 734 - Human Development, Prayer and Psychology

3 credits
This course will use psychoanalytic, developmental theories, and liberation theology to interpret religious experience. This approach assumes that psychoanalytic theory provides useful insights about how the development of the self is effected by traume, and other extreme social situations. This course will draw upon European-American, and African-American intellectual traditions to understand the interplay of theology and psychology. A primary goal of this course is to prepare students to interpret religious experiences using a variety of psychological perspectives in critical dialogue with theological and ethical traditions.  Interdisciplinary Course.
