Prayer in psychotherapy: a model for its use, ethical considerations, and guidelines for practice.

Although few guidelines exist, many therapists use prayer as a part of psychotherapy. The immense variance inherent in prayer behaviors and the paucity of literature on its use beckons the profession to develop a model for its use in therapy, examine the ethical implications for such use, and prepare guidelines for practice. A tripartite model for the conceptualization and localization of prayer in therapy is presented, ethical issues of therapist bias and competence and clients' right to autonomous decision making are considered, and guidelines for employing prayer in psychotherapy are developed.

Power and responsibility in the practice of medicine.

The evident power of the medical profession in the contemporary provision of health care requires a careful moral evaluation. The demand for professional autonomy may well lead to misuses of power. To illustrate the dangers of 'clinical freedom' and of the failure of the profession to monitor the actions of its members adequately, a case study is presented based on the recently published findings of a judicial inquiry into inadequate treatment of cervical cancer in Auckland, New Zealand. From this case study there emerge questions concerning professional autonomy, the autonomy of patients, and the need for a patient's advocate. These issues are assessed in light of the application to medical practice of the autonomy/heteronomy distinction in moral theory. Finally, three theological themes are briefly related to the issues which have emerged: the nature of agape, the limitations of human moral authority and the vision for humankind contained in the doctrines of incarnation and redemption.
