The Pastoral Counseling Treatment Planner

Over 1,300 well-crafted treatment goals, objectives and interventions for many of life’s thorniest problems

For pastoral counsellors and clergy people seeking effective therapeutic techniques, The Pastoral Counseling Treatment Planner is a lifesaver. And for secular therapists integrating elements of their clients’ spirituality into the treatment process, this book can guide the way. Patterned after the bestselling The Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner, this resource draws on a variety of Western religious belief systems and offers step-by-step guidelines on counselling clients and parishioners through life’s dilemmas.

This sourcebook is organised around 31 common problems, including marital conflict, grief, chronic illness, and challenges of faith. For each problem, behavioural definitions and potential counselling goals are provided, along with dozens of suggested interventions—many of which draw upon the client’s faith as a source of healing.

This is a hands-on resource that you can use directly in your counselling. The pages afford plenty of space to record customised counselling goals, objectives, and interventions for your parishioners. A faith-forward entry in the trusted Treatment Planner series, The Pastoral Counseling Treatment Planner simplifies the planning process, so you can focus on helping those who need you.

• Addresses emotional problems as well as life stage issues, family conflicts, marital issues, and challenges to faith.
