Abstract

The author employed the Whitehead model in exploring the attitudes of twenty psychotherapists, who work in four Catholic counseling centers across Northern Ireland. The thesis asks if it makes any difference to the work of the psychotherapists that they have a religious foundation. The results demonstrated a distrust of expressing an overt Catholic identity, as well as highlighting Northern Ireland to be more post-modern in its culture as it is post-conflict. Pastoral recommendations are made to help the centers reclaim their Catholic identity and mission following an engagement with church tradition and Irish culture.
