Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study report addresses the emerging role of meaning in the workplace, and how spirituality meets this need. The conclusion is drawn that each person's interpretation of meaning is informed by their unique experience of reality, and that the path of self-actualisation gives a sense of purpose to the lives of individuals. More particularly, Frankl's concept of logotherapy proposes that people find meaning when they are future-orientated. The absence of meaning leads to an existential vacuum, a phenomena experienced in

Abstract:

Schizophrenia is a severe and persistent mental illness. Nonetheless, recovery is often possible through pharmacotherapy in conjunction with psychosocial interventions, which help patients and their family members to develop coping strategies that alleviate distress associated with the symptoms of the illness and increase psychological well-being. Religion is one variable that has been strongly linked to the utilization of certain beneficial coping strategies and to greater psychological well-being. In a sample of 112 patients with schizophrenia and 87 of their family members, the present stud

This aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the experience of suicide bereavement and how coping and meaning making occurs. Additionally, the use of spirituality as a means of coping and making sense of suicide was studied. This is a new area that has been previously unexamined in suicide bereavement research. Using the methodology of transactional phenomenology, the experience of suicide bereavement was studied from the perspectives of those bereaved by suicide, mental health practitioners who work with the bereaved, and a cross-over group of survivors who were also practitio

This first-person Gadamerian hermeneutic phenomenological study interprets a Jamaican man’s meaning-making before, during, and after walking the Camino pilgrimage. In the study, I explored meaning-making through a constructive-developmental lens. I explained how I made meaning, as a border-dweller, or as someone who lives

In current discussions about contemporary forms of spirituality, consideration is given to the question, what is spirituality? and to exploring the range of associated beliefs and practices.

Some commentators suggest that contemporary spirituality, characterised by its separation from institutional forms of religion, and represented by the hallmark expression I am spiritual, b

Abstract:

The existential dimension has gained importance in health studies in the last decades (Moreira-Almeida & Koenig, 2006; DeMarinis, 2008). Little Swedish research exists in this area. A pilot study was conducted in a suburban Stockholm, Church of Sweden parish. Research question was: “How does the existential dimension of health, understood as the ability to create and maintain a functional meaning-makings system, affect the person’s self-rated health and quality of life?” Theoretical framework included: health research focusing the existential dimension; public health through psychology of

Abstract:

<p> Based on 13 months of ethnographic research, this dissertation documents how the people of Tautu, Vanuatu incorporate the global flows of biomedicine and Christianity into their local knowledge structures and social practices and the resulting integration of biomedical, Christian, and traditional medical ideologies and practices. This integration is articulated in Tautuans’ theories of illness causation and categories of care; knowledge practice; diagnosis and treatment processes; definitions of health and illness; and healing narratives. At the center of this creative, integrative p

Abstract:

Objet de recherche encore émergent en psychologie existentielle, les communautés sont à interroger pour mieux appréhender le rapport de l’individu à son existence. Cette thèse s’attache précisément à comprendre le rôle des interactions communautaires dans le mécanisme d’appropriation du sens pour la construction de son parcours professionnel et de sa vie. La communauté est définie dans cette étude comme « un groupe social formel et/ou informel dont l’individu est membre, uni autour d’échanges communs pluriels et d’organisations d’actions, partageant des intérêts, des aspirations et des valeurs

Abstract:

Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare auto-immune inflammatory disease in which the patient’s immune system attacks their spinal cord resulting in an unpredictable degree of neurologic disability, ranging from complete recovery to quadriplegia. TM patients often experience insufficient assistance towards understanding causes of the illness and have little to depend on in trying to deal with it. This study explores psychological strengths and coping strategies used by TM patients in coping with the illness. A theoretical framework of positive psychology with a strong focus on seven constructs,

Abstract:

H.P. Blavatsky’s (1831-1891) Theosophy has been defined as central to the history of modern Western spirituality and esotericism, yet to this date no major study has mapped and analysed the major themes of Blavatsky’s writings, how Blavatsky used the concept ‘Theosophy’ or to what extent she was engaged with the intellectual contexts of her time. Thus the purpose of this thesis is to fill this gap. The proposed theoretical framework is based on the centrality of language in the production of intellectual products, such as texts—but contrary to the dominant focus on strategies, rhetoric and pow

Abstract:

This thesis examines how, in late-medieval England, uses of Scripture and associated written discourses expanded to encompass the sacramental functions hitherto privileged to the bread and wine of the Mass. This process, reflecting the longstanding if implicit importance of scriptural symbolism to the medieval Eucharist, also bears witness to a major cultural shift in this period: the assignment to words of the same powers that had underpinned the function of visual, non-verbal symbols in medieval religion and society. As Chapter Two demonstrates, this process was starkly exposed in John Wycli

Abstract:

This study examined the experiences of Hospice Bereavement Coordinators (HBCs) and Hospice Chaplains working with grief narratives from patient-family units exhibiting signs of anticipatory or complicated grief. While a significant amount of research has been conducted on Hospice employees, no qualitative studies have examined the interpretation of meaning from employees whose primary role focused on the psychosocial-spiritual aspects of clients exhibiting anticipatory or complicated grief. The researcher identified shared meaning of death, trauma, and loss from six participants in the context
