Robert Kegan

Uses as a modern parable the notes of a feminist psychotherapist to demonstrate how the therapy reveals ethical and moral principles. Suggests that the therapeutic materials contain many premoral perspectives such as the goodness of emotions, the centrality of personhood, the value of personal assertiveness, and the place of self-sacrifice in growth and development. Draws particularly on the contemporary works of Robert Kegan to show how it is possible for psychotherapy to be seen as simultaneously a psychodynamic and a moral process.

Finally, each author offers reflections and comments on the perspective and approach of the other disciplines. Closing thoughts on integrative approaches to care are offered.

The stages identified are: pastoral counselor role acquisition; pastoral counseling role performance; pastoral counselor's role assessment; and pastoral counseling role restructuring or rejection. Concludes with a brief statement of implications of a role stage theory.

Positive Force

There are three potential dangers to mental health in old age: chronic physical conditions, retirement, and changing family relationships. These conditions can result in various pathological manifestations: rigidity, hypochondria, paranoia, depression, and institutional neurosis. Religion is a positive force for mental health in old age, and there is much that a pastoral counselor can do in geriatric cases. An eight-step plan is recommended for pastoral care: (1) define the scope of fruitful intervention; (2) direct your opening remarks to the elder; (3) objectively take a history; (4) identify problems; (5) solve the problems directly; (6) resolve guilt complexes; (7) provide opportunities for socialization and emotional support; (8) refer cases when necessary.
