How do I negotiate relationships with people who I may counsel on one day and from whom I must seek a housing allowance on the next? Can I be psychologically adept while remaining theologically faithful? Offering a wealth of insight into these and other fundamental issues, Dittes suggests that pastoral counseling \"is, finally, more a matter of the heart or the soul than the head, more a matter of faith than works, an attitude and posture more than a technique or skill\". - from back cover.\n\nPublished in: Louisville, Ky.\n\nPhysical description: xii, 161 pages ; 19 cm.","bookEdition":"1st ed.","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Psychiatry and pastoral care \/ Edgar Draper.","author":"Draper, Edgar.","isbn":null,"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Englewood Cliffs, N.J."},"datePublished":"1965","inLanguage":"English","description":"Published in: Prentice-Hall\n\nPhysical description: 138 p. ; 21 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Religious ethics and pastoral care \/ Don S.

How can counselees change? How does the Holy Spirit work? What role does hope play? What is the function of language? How do we ask the right questions? What often lies behind depression? How do we deal with anger? What is schizophrenia? These and hundreds more questions are answered in this comprehensive resource for the Christian counselor.
