I am a Christian and a psychologist. I love my profession very much, I see it as a calling. During psychological work, we, as fragile people, lean on the fragile other person, helping with devoted attention. And this path – the path of self-knowledge, becoming ourselves, healing – always leads through special inner landscapes. It can be winding, tiring, or cheerful and easy, but overall it can be said that it uplifts and helps us see more clearly who we are and where we are going.

PálI have been permeated by a love for the psychology of religion from the beginning, my research topics were: the examination of healing and disease-causing images of God, the psychology of conversion – the inner turn of the birth of faith, and the epistemological question: Does psychology have anything to do with the soul? My interest in narrative psychology soon joined the psychology of religion. I was able to learn narrative therapy from narrative family therapist Mark Hayward, which I enjoy using as a practicing professional. The focus of narrative therapy is life history, where the story – metaphor, and well-developed, rich alternative stories can bring about real change in our lives. Currently, in the vastness of existential psychology, I find the most professionally relevant, yet profound questions of our lives, which are not addressed by theology, philosophy,Authors thinking on the frontiers of psychology - author giants like Kierkegaard - explain it best.

I am grateful that I was able to become an adult clinical psychologist at the University of Pécs, where I learned from excellent clinicians how to understand mental disorders and the noble and difficult task of helping people recover. I work in the clinic in Budapest and am a doctoral student at the Theoretical Psychoanalysis Doctoral Program at the University of Pécs, my topic is Pilinszky János his psychobiography – the specifics of his religiosity in the creative life story.
