When damaged clergy are linked to damaged systems, the results can be catastrophic. The portrait of these harmed professionals and those they harm is a dark and convoluted one. This book attempts to bring some conceptual and practical clarity to these convolutions using the tools and theoretical frames of dynamic and analytic psychology.from the PrefaceThis accessibly written book will assist clergy, pastoral care professionals, and lay caregivers understand the role of the subconscious as a force in relationships, decision-making, and all aspects of their work.
