Title information

The majority of Americans believe in God. When confronted with loss, trauma, and disaster, research reveals they are more inclined to seek support from spiritual and religious leaders, not psychologists. It is no longer a prerogative for clergy and spiritual leaders to obtain guidance in psychological intervention. It is an obligation. This book Pastoral Crisis Intervention provides insight and practical suggestions on applying psychological crisis intervention with religious and spiritual contexts. It is written by a pioneer in the field of pastoral crisis intervention and the originator of the term itself.
