PC 300-3 - Pastoral Counseling:Individual

Institution:

Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

Subject:

Description:

This course provides a basic foundation for counseling individuals from systemic and pastoral perspectives. It will focus on basic theories and skills that enable the pastor/pastoral counselor to offer counseling services to individuals presenting themselves for help with problems. Interventions with individuals will be informed by the multiple contexts in which they are located including the particularities of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. Care for others will also be guided by a deepened understanding of persons as created in the image of a relational God and as embedded in multiple systems of meaning and relationships. This is an integrative course, which will bring together information from the behavioral sciences (particularly family systems studies), theology, the students' life experience, and practical skill development. This course fulfills the pastoral care requirement for the Master of Divinity degree program.
