A supplement to A Course In Miracles
This volume was taken down in the same process of "inner dictation" that A COURSE IN MIRACLES was taken in. Here is the layout of this 47 page booklet:
Introduction
CHAPTER 1: The Purpose of Psychotherapy
CHAPTER 2: The Process of Psychotherapy
I. The Limits on Psychotherapy
II. The Place of Religion in Psychotherapy
III. The Role of the Psychotherapist
IV. The Process of Illness
V. The Process of Healing
VI. The Definition of Healing
VII. The Ideal Patient-Therapist Relationship
CHAPTER 3: The Practice of Psychotherapy
I. The Selection of Patients
II. Is Psychotherapy a Profession?
III. The Question of Payment
This is recommended reading for all students of A COURSE IN MIRACLES. But Kenneth Wapnick PhD., himself a psychiatrist, has suggested that this booklet be read after the student of the Course has read the Course proper. Also, he cautions against anyone taking this booklet to their therapist unless the therapist has asked for it or is familiar with the Course. As with the Course proper, this booklet is primarily intended for personal study in aiding the reader in healing his own perspective.
My recommendation is to buy the book SUPPLEMENTS TO A COURSE IN MIRACLES. This book is a combined volume of this pamphlet, as well as the 44 page pamphlet entitled THE SONG OF PRAYER. Of course, both booklets are beautiful and inspiring.
