Summary

ANNOTATION COJOCARU Viorel, „The specificity of bioethical landmarks in the spiritual counseling of detainees: theoretical-practical analysis”, doctoral thesis in philosophy, specialty 632.01-Ethics and bioethics, Chisinau, 2022 Thesis structure: introduction, 3 compartments, general conclusions and recommendations, bibliography of 270 titles, 6 annexes, 166 pages of basic text. The results are published in 29 scientific papers. Keywords: bioethics, spiritual counseling, vulnerability, value, detainee, penitentiary, spiritual assistant, spirituality. The thesis aims to configure and implement the concept of spiritual counselling of detainees by capitalizing on the bioethical potential. To achieve the goal, the following objectives were proposed: identifying the interferences between bioethics and other fields regarding the contribution of interdisciplinary research in spiritual counselling; revealing bioethical concepts regarding spiritual counselling; determining the unique role of bioethics in the analysis of the way of life in the penitentiary; the foundation of bioethical principles in spiritual counseling in conditions of detention; highlighting the aspects of social bioethics in the process of spiritual counselling; the elucidation of the theoretical-practical components in the process of counselling detainees; defining the main problems of implementation of bioethical postulates in spiritual counselling. The novelty of the work in question resides in the fact that, although I discuss aspects that, in one way or another, have been reflected in the specialized literature, it is nevertheless imposed by promoting an innovative, overall, global and interdisciplinary vision both on the concept of spiritual counselling of detainees by capitalizing on the bioethical potential, as well as the notions of "spiritual assistance" and "bioethical principles of spiritual counselling", which are insufficiently addressed in the specialized literature. A theoretical analysis was carried out for the first time in the Republic of Moldova in the field of configuring ethical-practical support in the process of spiritual counselling and its implementation systems. Thus, the work represents one of the first complex scientific research devoted to ethical-practical research in the spiritual-practical counselling of detainees under the conditions of local penitentiaries. At the same time, for the first time, the study was conducted from the perspective of applying a concrete tactic in spiritual counselling based on bioethical principles in the conditions of the country's penitentiaries. To make spiritual assistance more efficient in the specific existential needs of the penitentiary, a classification of moral values in the implementation of spiritual assistance in the prison environment was presented. The originality of the research consists in the novel conception and factual presentation of the methodological indications of social bioethics, the process of bioethics, bioethical evaluation and adaptation of detainees to a general habitat corresponding to the requirements in force, but also the qualitative maintenance of the psychosomatic state in particular. The obtained results that contribute to the solution of a problem can be found in the realization of the bioethical potential in the interference with other disciplines in the process of spiritual counselling of persons deprived of liberty, and the efficiency of the spiritual conditions of the convicts during the detention period. With the contribution of spiritual counselling, it is desired to omit and minimize the spiritual-moral crises created by the specific environment, which distort both the value of the human being and the psychosomatic state of the convict. The implementation of the scientific results took place through scientific projects within the institutional and state programs, at national and international scientific forums, and by organizing training, and practical seminars with specialists trained in the activity of penitentiary institutions.
