Religious leaders’ perceptions of their
emotional and psychological needs Qualitative
Research using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. by Kayonda Hubert Ngamaba, Bsc (Hons) Counselling & Psychology,
University of Bolton, Dean Road, BL3 5AB, England. Supervisor: Dr Colleen Heenan, Senior Lecturer, Department
of Psychology, University of Bolton
AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study
was to explore religious leaders’ views and understanding of their emotional and psychological problems. The specific area I focused on were: ·
To explore the ‘Calling’
to become religious leaders and the nature of their work; ·
To investigate their
‘job’ satisfaction and how being a religious leader impacts on personal relationships; ·
To investigate religious
leaders’ emotional problems and how these affect their life; ·
To investigate the
coping strategies used to overcome their emotional problems.
Reflexion and Motivation Being in the ministry for more than ten years
led me to say that the church expectations on ministers appears to be too high. The
religious leader is expected to be a good preacher, counsellor, administrator, mental health professional, and friendly to
all members of the congregation. When religious leaders are busy caring for others, the need
for self-care becomes even bigger because they are personally affected by everyday life problems (Roberts & Ashley, 2008).
During my ten years’ ministry journey, I find that religious leaders give out so much
care and yet feel helpless about providing solutions. I also discovered that many religious leaders are sadly are not
equipped to respond sufficiently to people struggling with mental health problems, and recent research confirmed this statement
(Polson and Rogers, 2007). These limitations could be one of the reasons I chose to do my degree in counselling and psychology,
to help me to be more qualifier in my counselling. The humanistic and existentialist pioneers for
example Carl Rogers inspired me a lot to bring two things together: on the one side the human well-being and growth, and the
interest in the spiritual dimension and the meaning of life on the other side (Barker, 1998).
Religious leaders’ perceptions of their emotional and psychological needs
ABSTRACT Religious leaders in the United Kingdom
are in a difficult position: while being required to offer support to their members who are facing difficult times, they are
also personally affected by everyday life problems (Seaman, 1998; Raggio & Ashley, 2008). This study investigates religious
leaders’ perceptions of their emotional and psychological needs. The research
used a qualitative design consisting of semi-structured in-depth interviews to explore in detail how they perceive their own
emotional problems and to interpret their own experiences (Smith & Osborn, 2008). The interviews were audio-recorded and
transcribed verbatim and the technique used to analyse the data was Smith’s (2004) Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
(IPA). The participants for the main study were ...
Five
main topics emerged from participants’ views and understanding of their own emotional and psychological needs.
A number of implications of the findings and recommendations for future research are discussed.
