The 'Limit" experience of senior high school students: A study across four Catholic high schools

The purpose of the research reported in this thesis is to investigate the occurrence and recognition of “limit experience” among some Catholic High School students in their final year at selected secondary colleges in Brisbane. “Limit” experience was defined as "an experience that reveals a reality of life beyond the self, beyond the here and now". It may be recognition of our own fragility and vulnerability as much as a joyous awareness of a reality beyond our normal encounter with life.”
