In this very helpful resource, eleven leaders in pastoral counselingboth established leaders and new thinkers in the fieldoffer a convincing rationale.

Based on reserach, case studies, and the latest thinking, they lay out (1) the dynamics of the pastor-parishioner relationship, including the need for collaborative, hospitable, future-oriented, and wholistic counseling, and (2) specific strategies, including brief counseling's solution-focused method, its relation to spiritual direction, its focus on people's strengths, and time limits. The volume concludes with a call for the whole field to recognize the contextual, practical character of effective, responsible pastoral counseling.

The concepts and suggested guides are clearly described, using examples of conversations and questions to ask. All is built on the relationship of care seeker and caregiver, acknowledging that both have busy lives with many responsibilities, neither of whom have a lot of time for ongoing therapy. Collaboration between care seeker and care giver, through brief counseling concepts and steps, allows for agreed upon goals to be reached in a minimum of counseling sessions.

Many pastors do indeed provide brief pastoral counseling. I know I do. Often you don't even know you're providing counseling until your in the middle of it. Stone's book helps prepare pastors for this reality, even to embrace it. This is a great book to read if your idea of counseling has been primarily shaped by longer term forms of therapy and/or psychotherapy.

This book is a good read for pastoral care givers who do not have a background in counseling. It serves as a concise guide for those who have the burden but do not have much time to do long-term counseling.

This book has excellent information and was well written. It is a good source of information for anyone that has little or no experience in Pastoral Experience or training. The book was required for my continuing education.

Don't be misled into thinking that just because you counsel people briefly that you are practicing brief counseling. Brief Pastoral Counseling is a methodology for empowering others to create their own solutions, and in so doing, to begin to take charge of their own life. If you are tired of trying to give people answers and having overly dependent relationship with church members, then study this book.
