Moving Beyond Individualism in Pastoral Care and Counseling: Reflections on Theory, Theology, and Practice
‘This book is a stimulating and informative read. It poses a fundamental challenge to all who participate in the activity of pastoral care: ‘Does this engagement with the individual make any difference?’ [...] The book asks what it means to care as it struggles to connect social theory, psychology, theological reflection, and caring practices. McClure’s scholarship guides the reader with an admirable ability to be clear and concise. [...] I hope with others that this book will accelerate an important paradigm shift to move beyond individualistic ideologies in supporting persons to become more healthy and whole.’ (James WoodwardModern Believing1900-01-00)--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
