This is an accessible resource for students and practitioners to
become aware of the significance of self-knowledge for the
provision of sensitive spiritual and pastoral care. The greatest
asset which people in pastoral care offer to in a caring
relationship is themselves or to be more precise the aspects of
self which they have reflected upon. Offering oneself to other
people in order to provide companionship along the road of life,
especially when the particular stage on the journey is one of
anticipated or actual loss, is an act which is both challenging and
yet potentially life enhancing for a carer. The purpose of this
book is to offer an aid to those who seek to understand themselves
better with a view to enhancing the quality of spiritual and
pastoral care they offer. Here the reference point for reflexivity
is the caring relationship but as we are fundamentally the same
beings in personal and professional relationships then perhaps
readers may also find stimulus to reflect on what they bring to a
variety of relationships including that with the Sacred and,
indeed, themselves.
