Helping People Through Grief
by Delores KuenningCongregations are becoming increasingly aware how important a role their members can play in assisting one another in times of grief and despair. Delores Kuenning's book is a remarkable "textbook" to recommend for teaching caring people how to help helpfully. It is the most comprehensive treatment of "How to Care" I have ever come across. It is an encyclopedia of information on every conceivable form of grief. But more than that, it describes simply and directly how to respond to these griefs. All of the suggestions are based upon the accumulated wisdom of the Scriptures, church tradition and the experiences of present-day Christians. The author's sensitivity to the power of emotions is enhanced by her knowledge in the fields of both theology and the social sciences, which are evident on every page. She is a lay person's theologian. -- Granger E. Westberg, Author of Good Grief.
Helping the Good Shepherd: Pastoral Counselors in a Psychotherapeutic Culture, 1925–1975 (Medicine, Science, and Religion in Historical Context)
by Susan E. Myers-ShirkThis history of Protestant pastoral counseling in America examines the role of pastoral counselors in the construction and articulation of a liberal moral sensibility. Analyzing the relationship between religion and science in the twentieth century, Susan E. Myers-Shirk locates this sensibility in the counselors’ intellectual engagement with the psychological sciences. Informed by the principles of psychology and psychoanalysis, pastoral counselors sought a middle ground between science and Christianity in advising anxious parishioners who sought their help for personal problems such as troubled children, violent spouses, and alcohol and drug abuse. Myers-Shirk finds that gender relations account in part for the great divide between the liberal and conservative moral sensibilities in pastoral counseling. She demonstrates that, as some pastoral counselors began to advocate women’s equality, conservative Christian counselors emerged, denouncing more liberal pastoral counselors and secular psychologists for disregarding biblical teachings. From there, the two sides diverged dramatically. Helping the Good Shepherd will appeal to scholars of American religious history, the history of psychology, gender studies, and American history. For those practicing and teaching pastoral counseling, it offers historical insights into the field.
