The Contemplative Counselor extends the discourse on pastoral
counseling beyond theories and techniques to include a focal
description of a life lived in active contemplation. The
contemplative approach to life, care, and counseling demands a
daily call to surrender the underlying attitude of meritocracy that
heavily emphasizes good works to produce successful results in
counseling. At a fundamental level, the contemplative counselor
exhibits an unwavering reliance on the grace of God, which
transforms all that is descriptive of the counseling encounter.
Here, being precedes becoming, and the act of counseling emanates
from the deep and quiet center characterized by silence and
solitude of the heart. Such counseling targets holistically body,
mind, and spirit as a way of facilitating an experience of well
being and transformation. Contents Adobe Acrobat Document

downloading and viewing PDF samples? "In The Contemplative
Counselor, Rolf Nolasco has brought together three worlds that are
rarely conjoined in the counseling profession: the clinical
practice of counseling, of course, a deep appreciation and integral
use of the contemplative traditions in Christianity, and an edgy
social commentary on our society. Moreover, he has a sure grasp of
the relevant theoretical materials and yet is able to integrate
these fields in terms of the intimacy of his own personal
experience. Christian counselors and pastors can find in this book
a seed-bed of ideas with which to nourish their own further
contemplative integration and professional lives. This book is far
better than a treatise on what constitutes "Christian counseling";
it is an exhibition of it." -Robert Cummings Neville Professor of
Philosophy, Religion, and Theology Dean Emeritus of the School of
Theology, Boston University "A contemplative way of being lays a
foundation for healing in any approach to counseling. Whether you
are a student of counseling or a counselor wearied by the pressures
of clinical work, Nolasco's examination of the Christian
tradition's resources for contemplation offers a way toward the
holy human relatedness that motivates most of us who offer care for
those who suffer. Descriptions of using contemplation with
individuals in troubled relationships and also with survivors of
the Rwandan genocide remind us that contemplation's value is
personal but also relational and political." -Kathleen J. Greider
