Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book about revitalizing family and social relationships in an increasingly diverse and polarized world should become a resource for a vast array of professionals in the fields of mental heath, social and community services. It will also serve as a textbook on contextual therapy and its applications that fills a gap in the literature on this approach. It will present it in a highly understandable language, using a new terminology. Hence this book will meet the needs of many contextual therapists and contextually inspired pastoral counselors at any level of expertise. For other professionals, this book can open new ways of thinking and new strategies to address many of the situations they are likely to encounter. In addition, in a format never tried before, this book includes a section dedicated to contributions of contextual therapy to practical theology, the pastoral process, and interfaith studies. It will also present the contributions of these studies to the facilitation of interfaith encounters that can serve as a model for any professional working in a multicultural environment.
