After the biblical and theological foundations for pastoral care and counseling are examined, this course will consider basic listening skills, pastoral visitation, and the pastoral response to the developmental and situational crises of life. Ministry in times of illness and grief as well as premarital counseling, marriage and family counseling, and referral will also be considered. Field placement is required for this course (for M.Div. students, Supervised Ministry or approved alternative), preferably in a parish setting or agency where one can assume a pastoral identity. This course is prerequisite for Clinical Pastoral Education (SEGS 506) and Individual Psychotherapy and Methodology (SEPF 773).
Required MDiv and MAPC, 3 credits
