Psychological and theological perspectives of narratives of women with a physical disability

Presented by Elizabeth Martiny

A WORKSHOP SATURDAY 12 October 2019 at CG Jung Centre, Rosebank, Cape Town

A multitude of social barriers negatively impact self-identity, self-esteem and development of women with a physical disability. These can result in the internalization of disparaging social attitudes, behaviours and God-images regarding disability. Certain faith communities marginalize this population due to formation of and teaching of God-images which denigrate the condition of disability and persons with a disability. This seminar will explore a few narratives of women regarding their psychological and religious experiences related to their disability. The discussion will also focus on the therapeutic encounter with persons with a disability by identifying and exploring both restrictive and
liberating factors in their journeys.
