Richard Muchangi: Pastoral counselling: restoring lives, relationships, and families, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Pastoral counselling is a unique form of counselling that integrates psychological principles with theological insights to provide holistic care. It is conducted by trained pastoral counselors who address emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues within the context of faith. Pastoral counselling plays a vital role in offering support and guidance to individuals facing various life challenges. It aims to facilitate emotional healing, promote mental well-being, and nurture spiritual growth. By addressing both psychological and spiritual needs, pastoral counselling helps individuals find meaning, purpose, and hope in their lives. The practice of pastoral counselling has its roots in the early Christian church, where clergy provided spiritual guidance and care to their congregants. Over the centuries, it evolved to incorporate insights from psychology and psychotherapy, leading to the establishment of pastoral counselling as a recognized field. Key figures and movements that contributed to its development will be explored.
