Synopsis

Pastoral Crisis Intervention is one of those rare, truly groundbreaking books! Dr. Everly, who first coined the term "pastoral crisis intervention" and initially defined the field, now offers to define the practice. Dr. Everly, a true pioneer in the field of stress management, provides a useful guide to the rationale, theory, and practice of pastoral crisis intervention. He argues that the pastoral community is an essential resource in the effort to rebuild lives and communities in the wake of trauma and disaster, but that this resource is often under-prepared and frequently overlooked. This books dares to change that! Pastoral Crisis Intervention is essential reading for clergy, pastoral counselors, and laity alike. It should be mandatory reading for all students in formal religious education.
