Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-7890-0148-1 (ISBN)
key elements of Gestalt theory, from the early developers through more recent practices
the cycle of experience--a model that provides an understanding of the various steps involved in change on all levels
Gestalt applications in pastoral counseling, worship, and administration
a theology of pastoral caring--a model for pastoral ministry based on the relational aspects of the Biblical narrative and its application in ministry
ideas for continued growth based on daily life experienceWith well-developed presentations of Gestalt principles and pastoral ministry, Gestalt in Pastoral Care and Counseling provides you with a new perspective on the meaning of pastoral ministry. Not only will you learn new skills, you will also develop a new appreciation for what can occur within pastoral relationships. The theoretical basis of Gestalt embraces the whole of life experience as part of the process of change and growth and holds sacred the relationship that exists between persons. As your understanding and use of these principles increases, the quality of care and counseling you provide in your ministry will continue to improve.
