Pastoral Care and Counseling addresses the critique that pastoral
care is indistinguishable from secular psychotherapy by placing a
person's relationship to God at the center of pastoral care. Each
person is created in the Image of God (dignity) and has a purpose
(vocation), but people face social problems such as poverty or
discrimination that limit this expression. This book shows how
ministers can care for systems, arenas such as health care,
education, and employment. Even traumatic events such as abuse and
suicide are linked with social factors like unemployment, so
understanding the impact of systems on pastoral care is an
essential part of ministry in the twenty-first century. This book
combines theological reflection, psychological insights, social
science research, and accessible case studies to provide an
indispensable introductory text for seminary students and
experienced ministers alike. The book shows how human life is a
journey lived out in relationship to God. Each chapter tells a
compelling story, whether adult survivors of abuse, suicide,
intimate partner violence, poverty, racial reconciliation,
dementia, and grief, and draws theological conclusions with direct
practical importance from the narrative. Students reading this text
will have tools to reflect theologically on practices of pastoral
care and counseling. Rather than splitting pastoral ministry into
subtopics, the Care for Stories, Systems, and Self framework
fosters a balanced, wise, and theologically reflective approach to
ministry in a variety of settings.
