Abstract

In this article I will, extensively, show the essence of the Sacrament of Pe- nance and Reconciliation and the key issues associated with psychotherapy. Currently, there is an overriding demand for understanding the sacrament of confession in a purely human context of psychotherapy. There is, also, a collaboration between the two ministries within the Church. The above content recognizes the objective and tasks of the confessor and psychotherapist that reveals the possibility of both complimenting each other. Man, as a bodily and spiritual creature, needs for his overall development both the psycho-physical and spiritual. Widely addressed, it is, also, a matter of cooperation between the confessor and psychotherapist of such a person.
