Ethno-Religious Identities: An Identity Structure Analysis of Clergy in Ireland, North and South
Nathalie Rougier (PhD, University of Ulster)
The study investigates clergy's construal, appraisal and redefinition of ethno-religious identity in Ireland.
Informed by theoretical insights from Self and Identity research, contemporary debates in the sociopsychological
approach of Ethnicity and Religion - and using Identity Structure Analysis as its framework of reference - the
current investigation offers an in-depth theoretical and empirical conceptualisation of ethnoreligious identity in
which "ethnicity" is not apprehended arbitrarily as a collection of characteristics transmitted from generation to
generation in a mysterious fashion, but construed and redefined continually by individuals, according to their
biographical, socio-cultural and historical circumstances. Importantly, individuals in the study are not simplistically
categorized as "Catholics" and "Protestants", but differentiated according to their specific denominational affiliation
and "geographical" location. <<Full Abstract>>
An Exploration of the Long-Term Experience of Trauma upon Clinicians' Identity
Selwyn Black (PhD, University of Ulster)
In the 'new paradigm' of psychotraumatology, there is little research with clinicians who have themselves become traumatised
as a result of their work with traumatised clients. In order to protect clients, clinicians, and the relevant professions,
there is an ethical imperative to acknowledge and address the issue of clinicians’ traumatic experience that emanates from
working with traumatised clients. This research explored some of the processes that give rise to changes in the clinician's
frame of reference and ultimately their sense of identity as a consequence of their traumatic experience. <<Full Abstract>>
