Description
Trauma-Informed Pastoral Care: How to Respond When Things Fall Apart by Karen A. McClintock is a practical guide for clergy and pastoral caregivers who respond to community trauma. Pastoral psychologists and theologians have long recognized the need for clergy to learn how to care for others in the aftermath of traumatic events. This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the body's response to trauma, guiding readers through self-reflection and self-regulation to provide effective support. McClintock also explores culturally sensitive models for healing from overwhelming experiences. As a pastor and psychologist, Karen A. McClintock is uniquely positioned to help clergy recognize symptoms of trauma and commit to healing individual, community, and generational trauma with care and cultural sensitivity.
