I am currently in the process of applying to Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) to undertake a PhD in Professional Practice: Psychological Perspectives. The PhD will be supported by the Alef Trust and the Professional Development Foundation (PDF).
My primary suprvisor for the PhD is Prof. Les Lancaster and my secondary supervisor is Prof. David Lukoff.
My research is going to explore the concept, and determine the efficacy, of 'grounding' for people going through spiritual emergency/spiritual crisis. The first part of this project will involve undertaking research on behalf of the Spiritual Crisis Network (SCN) in the UK. The second part will atempt to ellucidate the links between the experience of 'grounding' and the psychological concepts of traits and personality types.
I will post further details about each part of the project below as the research progresses.
