Quatrième de couverture : "Besoins spirituels, besoins ou désirs ? Encore une question bien théorique pour intellectuels ? Loin de là ! Essayer de discerner ce que le malade sollicite au coeur de sa propre expérience est important pour tout soignant, tout accompagnant. Si les besoins invitent à un comblement (une demande, une réponse), le désir s'en trouve peut-être plus diffus, mais plus intense. Parler de spiritualité en termes de besoin ou de désir ne nous convoque pas de la même manière. Aussi, s'il nous faut penser à notre responsabilité et à notre mandat de soignant, il est bien nécessaire d'approcher ce que le patient attend de nous, ce que nous pouvons réellement lui offrir sans nous illusionner d'ailleurs sur le fait, qu'au nom du bien, il nous faille « tout porter », sans que le patient reste le premier acteur de sa propre existence."

This book considers the challenges and opportunities of the Anthropocene Age from the perspective of pastoral theology/care. The fundamental question and concern with regard to the Anthropocene Age for human beings and other species is, how are we to dwell together on this one earth. Care, LaMothe argues, is the central concept in answering this question. Effective care requires pastoral theologians to make use of multiple interpretive frameworks (e.g., theology, philosophy, human sciences, etc.) in the analytic pursuit of understanding and responding effectively to the realities of climate change. At the same time, it is also important for pastoral theologians to examine critically the theologies and philosophies that give rise to and impede pastoral interventions and, in the case of the Anthropocene Age, to be clear about how theologies and philosophies have contributed to ideologies that undergird both exploitation of the earth and other-than-human beings, while also contributing to climate change and obstructing climate action. These are necessary steps in developing pastoral responses aimed at caring for persons, communities, and other-than-human beings in need of a viable dwelling.

The Practice of Pastoral Care has become a popular seminary textbook for courses in pastoral care and a manual for clinical pastoral education. In it, Doehring encourages counselors to view their ministry through a trifocal lens that incorporates premodern, modern, and postmodern approaches to religious and psychological knowledge. Doehring describes the basic ingredients of a caregiving relationship, shows how to use the caregiver's life experience as a source of authority, and demonstrates how to develop the skill of listening and establishing the actual relationship. This new edition elaborates on and expands the author's previous work, adding an intercultural perspective that gives more attention to religious pluralism in the pastoral care setting. It offers a road map for using a step-by-step narrative, relational, embodied approach to spiritual care that respects the unique ways people live out their values and beliefs, especially in coping with stress, loss, and violence. Readers will be able to confidently and professionally offer pastoral care and counseling to members of their congregations or other places of ministry.
