You and I: Psycho-Spiritual Health and the Voice of Love
Garret B. Wyner, Joshua D. Wyner
Abstract
As therapists, we regularly observe the extent to which our patients are distanced from a voice of love or
compassion toward themselves and others (e.g., inner good voice, benevolent superego, good internal object,
spirit of love, God). We believe the extent to which one realizes an intimate relationship to this voice (through
the tangible mediation of loving others) is the defining measure of psycho-spiritual health. As such, the curative
power of “love” is grounded in a tangible relationship with a self-transcendent good that is not reducible to
simply subjective experience, affect, behavior, or social interaction
Keywords
