Product Description

Product Description
This comprehensive guide to community care and counselling in religious contexts aims to prepare those who would help all who suffer emotionally. It emphasizes the dynamics of change, wholeness and community as not only the context for healing, but also the means for which healing happens.

From the Author
I'm very pleased with the reception of my book.
As of today the book is going into another printing.I'm pleased to report that seminarys, training centers, educators, pastoral care-givers and counselors are E-mailing and writing me about how the book is filling a necessary spot in their community needs.In addition, I am happy that many non-professionals who have come into contact with the book write and tell me that it has been helpful and informative.My mission in writing it was to be of some assistanace in helping communitees and individuals gain skills in care and counseling. I also wanted to add the value of spiritual insights to clinical techniques in plain, non-tehnical language.I feel enormously rewarded that the book is being appreciated by both professionals and lay-people.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tremendously useful book., 6 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Margaret Kornfeld has done a marvelous job of integrating the kind of practical wisdom that develops in clinical supervision with interfaith religious tradition and practice. She has developed the knowledge in a format with the student in mind, at the same time as providing depth and breadth of resources for the teacher. And congratulations to the publisher for allowing the kinds of multiple citations--resources at the end of the chapter, endnotes, and bibliography--that makes "Cultivating Wholeness" into a true guide for continuing education. This really is a tremendously useful book. One really does get the sense that she has synthesized the knowledge of the therapeutic tradition that Blanton-Peale has represented and makes it available in an appropriate manner for the beginning general practitioner.

5.0 out of 5 stars An admirable, and significantly important book., 25 Jun 1998
By A Customer
What a privilege to read CULTIVATING WHOLENESS! I was both informed and awed. It is a 'tour de force' --- a comprehensive (virtually encyclopedic), concrete, pragmatic, and thematically held together work on change within the context of congregational/community life that takes account of sophisticated psychotherapeutic processes informed by biblical hermeneutic. The care-giver must be an expert, and is helped to be an expert, without being a specialist. In short, THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON PASTORAL CARE AND COUNSELING IN SCOPE AND SPECIFICS WITH WHICH I AM ACQUAINTED.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide to pastoral counseling., 19 Jun 1998
By A Customer
I have had the privilege of accompanying Margaret Kornfeld's book, Cultivating Wholeness: A Guide to Care and Counseling in Faith Communities, in its birthing process over the past several years. I witnessed how Margaret brought together her many fields of experience and expertise: her teaching of psychodynamics to clergy psychotherapists at the Blanton Peale Graduate Institute and to the seminarians at Union Theological Seminary; her many years in an outstanding practice as therapist in individual, group and couples therapy, her pastoral experience at Judson Memorial Church; her work in AIDS ministry; her leadership roles both in the regional and national levels of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors; her prodigious study and reading in all areas pertinent to pastoral ministry and counseling. The result is a prudent and balanced guide to all the complex issues of pastoral counseling. This is the one book I would recommend as a vade mecum for anyone involved in pastoral ministry in a faith community.
