In the Shadow of Our Steeples: Pastoral Presence for Families
Coping with Mental Illness helps you and other experts and
quasi-experts in the field of religious and family counseling to
give sound direction and guidance to family members who are caring
for a loved one who suffers from mental illness. You'll find many
avenues of care and counseling that will greatly enhance your
ability to lend support and encouragement in situations where the
burden of care seems too great for only a few individuals to lift.
In reading it, you'll find your options increase tenfold, and
you'll become a better symbol and resource of faith for these
unique families.Inside In the Shadow of Our Steeples, you'll
discover how to cure the obsession with success that too often goes
along with counseling situations that involve mental illness.
You'll also discover a greater, more enduring strain of Christian
love, full of surprising joys, caring, and hope. Geared toward
moving parishes away from public stigmas and toward a collective
ministry of presence, this book beckons to those clergy who know
and believe that a far more understanding and far-reaching form of
counseling exists. Specifically, you'll learn about these and other
long-sought-after aids: establishing theological foundations and
goal-setting in the area of pastoral care countering the stigmas of
mental illness using biblical studies and models using a "ministry
of presence" to analyze chronic illness and promote "rehabilitation
in the absence of cure" bringing clergy and mental health
professionals into a collaborative arena of care improving the
relationship of professional chaplains to clergy in ordinary parish
settingsOverall, In the Shadow of Our Steeples helps bring together
the sufferer, the family, the civil servant, and the religious
counselor into one synergistic group of rehabilitative influence.
This sound guide's specific examples and proven strategies will
help turn your despair into hope, even in the face of chronic
mental illness.
