The purpose of this study was to explore how 12 Ignatian spiritual directors understand and deal with resistance. Criteria for inclusion in the study were that Ignatian spiritual directors: 1) be presently engaged in the practice of spiritual direction; 2) had personally experienced a Spiritual Exercise retreat; and 3) practiced the Ignatian method of spiritual direction. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each director. The data indicated that spiritual directors understood what resistance was but were less able to articulate how they handled resistance to change exhibited by directees. The data also indicated that object relations theory was irrelevant to the spiritual directors in their current practice.
