PASTORAL CARE/THEOLOGY

Pamela Cooper-White Many Voices: Psychotherapy in Relational and Theological Perspective., Minneapolis: Fortress Press 2006

This is a full scale disciplinary framework for pastoral psychotherapists/pastoral counselors at intermediate and advanced levels of clinical training and also for experienced pastoral counselors and psychotherapists in professional practice. It harvests the great potential of postmodern sensibilities to help, accompany, and support individuals, couples, and families in recognizing and healing especially painful psychic wounds, and/or longstanding patterns of self-defeating relationships to self and others.
