Clinical Theology : A Theological and Psychiatric Basis to Clinical Pastoral Care by Lake, Frank - 1966

London: Darton Longman & Todd, 1966 Includes 10 fold-out charts in rear pocket. Wee misconceive the task of clinical pastoral care, whether undertaken by clergymen or psychiatrists or others, if we imagine that the main obstacle to our successful conduct of it is that we have not been sufficiently trained to understand the intricacies of interpersonal and intra-psychic conflict. The essential problem actually has to do with the wordless agonies of dereliction, and the wordless healing of grief when it is shared in silence. Condition notes: 1282 numbered pp; HB/No DJ.
