The mission of the Southern Nazarene University Department of Psychology and Counseling is to partner with the university and students for the sake of developing persons who embody compassion, patience, presence, curiosity, thoughtfulness, and imagination. As a university rooted in the Wesleyan theological tradition, we invite our students to live relationally, to embody service and social justice, to use empirically sound methods, and to reflect thoughtfully about self, others, and creation.

In March, The Department of Psychology & Counseling at SNU is excited to be hosting Dr. Ken Pargament for three events near and on our Bethany campus. Dr. Pargament is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Bowling Green State University. He is an internationally-recognized psychological researcher and licensed psychologist, known for his work at the intersections of religion, spirituality, and health. He is the author of Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy and The Psychology of Religion and Coping, and coauthor of Working with Spiritual Struggles in Psychotherapy.

The first event is a talk at Rose State College on the morning of March 10. This event is free, and community members of all types are encouraged to attend. This event will highlight the empirical work that Dr. Pargament and others have pursued on understanding spiritual struggles, with research participants and in therapeutic settings.

The second event is our Department of Psychology and Counseling Ladd Lecture, on the evening of March 10. Again, this event is free, and all community members are encouraged to attend. This lecture will explore the research that Dr. Pargament and others have pursued on the way people perceive relationships and other aspects of life through a sanctified, or sacred, lens.

The third event is a clinical workshop on March 11, oriented toward Psychologists, LPC/LMFT counselors, and other mental health professionals who are desiring professional training in spiritually integrated psychotherapy. There is a cost for this workshop. Please share this with those you know who might be interested.

Flyers for each of these three events are attached, which include additional details. Thank you for spreading the word!
