What does it mean to engage in ethical, anti-racist pastoral care
with women with mental illness, particularly if these women are
residents of an inpatient psychiatric hospital? This book draws on
interviews with eighteen chaplains in three psychiatric facilities
to examine psychiatric chaplaincy with women in the context of a
state psychiatric hospital. It combines the voices of the chaplains
with the disciplines of Christian social ethics and feminist,
womanist, and intercultural pastoral care to create Just Care, an
approach to pastoral care that accounts for both personal and
societal-systemic factors in its practice of ministry. Just Care
proposes that pastoral care that addresses the entirety of the
person necessitates a commitment to justice and an attention to
cultural dynamics as foundational for ethical pastoral care. It
argues that psychiatric pastoral care must honor the communal and
individual nature of care-both the particularity of the caregiver
and care seeker as well as intersections of culture, gender, race,
and class.
