AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RESPONSES OF RELIGIOUS WOMEN TO COUNSELING PRACTICES USED BY RELIGIOUS SUPERIORS

M. MARGARET RITA MERCILLE, Fordham University

Abstract

Research studies have been designed to explore the responses of various groups of people to counseling and guidance techniques. Students, clients of social work agencies, workers in industries have been the subjects of these investigations. No research project has been concerned specifically with the guidance of religious women by their superiors. Experts in applied psychology, in canon law, and in religious life have maintained that counseling would be helpful to religious women and that they would respond in a manner similar to that of other adult women. Although there may be more similarities than differences between religious women and other groups of adult women in their respective responses to counseling inter- views, questions present themselves concerning the actual responses that religious may make to counseling techniques if used by superiors.
