Strategic Pastoral Counseling - A Short-Term Structured Model

Therapeutic counselling in a Christian context can be highly effective when it maintains narrowly focused goals in a time-limited setting. The details of this proven model of pastoral counselling are described in this practical guide. This second edition of Strategic Pastoral Counselling has been thoroughly revised and includes two new chapters. Benner includes helpful case studies, a new appendix on contemporary ethical issues, and updated chapter bibliographies. His study will continue to serve clergy and students well as a valued practical handbook on pastoral care and counselling.
