Abstract
This paper presents findings from the first clinical trial of transformative catechesis conducted in the spring of 2006 at Santa Clara University. The paper analyzes and interprets the findings for the purpose of refining the process, which has been adapted from Jungian analytical method. Like Jungian method, transformative catechesis helps participants identify and resolve issues blocking psychological development. The process involves anamnesis and storytelling through artwork, which participants analyze individually and collectively. The artwork used in the present trial contained traditionally religious and non-religious themes, representing a variety of periods and genres.
