PA 232 Pastoral Counseling II
This course surveys the major schools of counseling: dynamic, existential, cognitive-behavioral, and systemic.  Students will acquire a cognitive understanding of these theories, demonstrate the ability to apply basic techniques from each model, and be able to articulate the pastoral and faith dimensions of each counseling approach.  The practicum component requires seminary students to complete additional learning projects, including taping practice helping sessions, researching community resources, and developing a model for applying the major counseling theories to pastoral ministry, with specific attention to couple counseling and spiritual direction.  Prerequisite: PA 231.  (4 Credits)
