"This book is designed to bring essential knowledge and skills to the religious professional who seeks to provide special ministry to the emotionally troubled. It provides a basic understanding of psychiatric illnesses, theory, and treatment modalities that is certain to enlarge the perspective of the pastoral worker. Mental illness and Psychiatric Treatment: A Guide for Pastoral Counselors presents fascinating case studies that highlight symptoms and illness patterns as well as treatment options and techniques for coordinating pastoral counseling with the mental health team. You'll learn to recognize the spiritual symptoms of disease - negative, inappropriate, or self-defeating attitudes or behaviors - and to deal specifically with these manifestations of illness through pastoral intervention and counseling."--BOOK JACKET.
