The need for clergy to employ pastoral counseling techniques re-quires education and training in such skills. With a current emphasis on global interaction and missionary work, many priests and clergy find they are ill-equipped to provide pastoral counseling that inte-grates cultural considerations. This book provides insight into the perceptions of religious brothers training in communication and counseling skills. It highlights possi-bilities for seminary instruction by sharing strategies for pastoral ser-vices that exhibit a new awareness of the meaning of pastoral care. Assessing the priestly role in counseling, the book also identifies the expectations of clients that can lead to stress within the pastoral role. This exploration of perceptions and adaptation of skills will be useful to formators, developers of curriculum, those in the seminary or for-mation house, and clergy already providing pastoral care to others. Enlightened by the process and expectations, this book can aid in reducing the stress encountered in the role of pastoral counselor while demonstrating that the counseling relationship is more of a shared journey than a resolution to a problem.
