Toward a Racially Inclusive Model

A revolutionary theory, a clinical watershed, a masterful text The Influence of Race and Racial Identity in Psychotherapy, Robert T. Carter changes the course of a century of psychological theory, practice, and education. He debunks the traditional belief that race has a marginal impact on personality development and, with compelling empirical evidence, demonstrates that race is the defining factor above other experiences of living in the United States and a crucial ingredient in the therapeutic process. Carter presents models of racial identity for all racial groups and offers numerous case studies of various psychosocial resolutions within racial groups. He constructs the first racially inclusive model of psychotherapy--a rigorous conceptual framework that affords clinicians a deeper awareness of how racial issues affect their dealings with patients--and creates a means of integrating that knowledge into their practices. The Influence of Race and Racial Identity in Psychotherapy: * Defines the decisive role of racial identity in personality development * Presents a racially inclusive model of psychotherapy * Describes how this model is applied in a clinical context * Proposes new counselor training programs based on this model. This immensely valuable text helps students in multicultural counseling and psychotherapy develop an awareness of their own levels of racial identity as well as those of their patients. For practicing therapists, it opens new vistas in the therapeutic process and provides new avenues through which to better understand and serve their patients.

Biblical Solutions for Christian Counselors

"Counselors unanimously find that marriage and family problems outnumber all other counseling problems combined. For that reason alone, counselors should want to learn all they can about marriage counseling." --Jay Adams This book will help counselors understand and deal with the typical problems that arise in a marriage. The approach is to offer not merely solutions, but biblical solutions. Chapter by chapter, each problem that is brought into focus is addressed by Scripture, and a solution arising from Scripture is developed. Unless one understands what a biblical marriage is supposed to be, it is difficult to solve marriage problems. For that reason, Dr. Adams spends the first few chapters developing a biblical model. Then he treats many of the specific kinds of problems that typically arise: life patterns, priorities, children, sex roles, in-laws, and so forth. This is a book that belongs on every pastor's and every counselor's shelf.

Divorce doesn't have to be devastating. Reject the idea that you'll be damaged by the process. In fact, if you do it right, you'll grow from the experience. You'll start your new life better than you were before. Divorce is difficult. There's no avoiding the emotional, financial, and legal challenges associated with divorce. Each member of the family will be marked by the experience in one way or another. What we've learned, through working with thousands of families going through divorce, is that some people come out of the experience devastated. For them, wallowing in the aftermath for years becomes the norm. Their divorce impacts their day-to-day life for decades after the end of the marriage. Many of these people never let go of the negativity surrounding the end of their marriage. Other people have a different experience of divorce. They bounce back. They cope with the process as it happens and then they recover. These people move on to live bigger and better lives. They're happier, healthier, and more prosperous than in the past. They enter into new relationships, and they thrive. They don't deny the challenge presented by the divorce, but they don't let it define the rest of their lives. How is it that people can be impacted so differently by a divorce? We're not experts in psychology-we're lawyers. But, we've absorbed some lessons as we've observed our clients going through this process. We've found that some people learn from their divorce. They gain new insights. They turn the negatives into positives by maturing and evolving. We think they've figured out the way to divorce smartly. We wrote this book to help you divorce in a smart way. We can't pass along all of the emotional lessons to be learned from going through an experience as difficult as divorce-that's better left to the mental health experts. We can, however, help you understand the legal issues. Knowing what's coming, and understanding it before it happens, will give you the emotional space required to grow from your own experience. Staying one step ahead on the legal issues helps you avoid becoming overwhelmed. Knowing what's coming allows you to focus on the next step so you don't get rolled over by the process. With the knowledge you'll gain in this book, you'll be on your way to Smart Divorce.

This book deals with pastoral life, pastoral counseling, and pastoral leadership.

A Handbook on Pastoral Ministry, Counseling, and Leadership





Shepherding God's Flock is both a textbook for students of pastoral ministry and a handbook for pastors. Jay Adams is well-known for his practical and thorough approach to the many issues of Christian counseling. That same practicality and thoroughness is found in this unparalleled handbook on pastoral ministry. Not only does it offer pastors one of the best resources in print, but it also provides church elders with an orientation and practical guide to aspects of ministry for which they have responsibility. It is truly a shepherd's handbook. The book is divided into three parts. Pastoral Life deals with the pastor, his calling, and the general care he provides the flock. Pastoral Counseling provides an overview of the task and a general approach for pastoral counselors. Pastoral Leadership offers a perspective on the ways the pastor can lead the church in its many tasks and responsibilities.

This book gives us a greater knowledge of women's experiences.

A New Pastoral Care

The American Psychiatric Association in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5 (DSM-5) defines ten personality disorders. According to their statistics, a congregation consisting of 100 adults, if the membership is representative of the US population as a whole, will have 15 individuals with a personality disorder. Some of these present challenges for assimilation. Others are likely to create turmoil or conflict. Still others may be related to in ways that are not helpful to them. Yet most clergy are not trained in recognizing personality disorders and, as a result, easily fall prey to relationship traps that exacerbate problems rather than managing them. This book provides church leaders with a guide to understanding personality disorders. The goal is not to promote labeling but to provide helps in recognizing personality types in order to facilitate tailored responses and improved pastoral care.

A Companion for Every Loss

With more than three million copies in print, discover timeless wisdom for all who grieve the loss of a job, a friendship, a move, or a loved one.

For more than fifty years Good Griefhas helped millions of readers, including NFL players and a former first lady, find comfort, understand their emotions and regain hope after loss. This classic text identifies ten stages of grief -- shock, emotion, depression, physical distress, panic, guilt, anger, resistance, hope, and acceptance -- but recognizing that grief is complex and deeply personal, defines no "right" way to grieve.

Good Griefoffers valuable insights on the emotional and physical responses persons may experience during the natural process of grieving something as small as a change in plans to something as traumatic and final as death. Reflection questions sprinkled throughout the book help readers explore their own experience with each stage of the grieving process.

Good Griefincludes a foreword by Dr. Timothy Johnson, a leading communicator of medical health care information. An afterword by the author's daughters tells how the book came to be.

Whether mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage, moving to a new home, or other difficult life changes, Good Grief is a proven steady companion in times of loss and transition.
