- Abstract
- The study shows the commonalities of language that communicate the meaning of the unique female experience of childbearing. These commonalities become appropriate considerations in the tasks of 1) pastoral psychotherapy and 2) the language of theology. A methodology of stepwise interviews was incorporated in a qualitative study of ten 'barren' women. This population was chosen under the assumption that the frustration of the childbearing capacity engendered in a woman who wanted to bear children a necessity to articulate and thereby resolve her loss. The results indicate, in the context of childbearing, commonalities in the use of certain metaphors, styles of speaking, types of experience, and ways of relating to oneself, others, and God. The implications of this study support the need for pastoral psychotherapists and theologians to be sensitive to the experience of women as they formulate the diagnoses, hypotheses, assumptions, metaphors, symbols, and stories of their respective tasks.
