Abstract

This Project examines the theological anthropology of Karl Barth and the psychological anthropology of Heinz Kohut, and claims the promise of Barth's theology for the practice of pastoral care and counseling. Kohut's theory has been repeatedly appropriated by pastoral counselors, but Barth's theology has seldomly been applied to pastoral care and counseling. While both theories are 'logically diverse,' each offers a relational perspective that is essential to human existence. Notwithstanding the 'irremovable difference' between the Barth's theology and Kohut's psychology, there is an analogical relationship between them, which allows the establishment of parallel concepts between the two.
