Inhalt

The text is addressed to pastors, spiritual guides and guides in spiritual exercises, individuals holding positions of responsibility in religious orders and spiritual communities as well as to contacts and advisers in places of support for the victims of spiritual and sexual abuse. The Working Paper provides definitions and indicators to help identify spiritual abuse. Further chapters of the Working Paper deal with the establishment of places of support for the victims, the requirements for counselling services, possible interventions, the integration of the topic into prevention work and with analysing spiritual abuse.

Conflicting interests arose when drafting the Working Paper in the sense that, firstly, the dioceses were pressing for the working paper on Spiritual Abuse in pastoral care, in religious orders and in spiritual communities to be published quickly, whilst, secondly, a very great deal of experience is currently being collected when it comes to enacting an inquiry into abuse of spiritual authority, and at the same time the process of evaluating the information in scholarly terms has not yet been completed. As a result, a Working Paper on the current state of knowledge has been drafted in order to provide the dioceses with the desired assistance, particularly in the clarification of terms and the identification of spiritual abuse.
