Pastoral Psychology

A Study in the Care of Souls

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1951, unlike most books dealing with psychology and pastoral work at the time, this work is not concerned solely with the application of psycho-therapeutic principles to the work of the minister. It is dominated by the need for the pastoral care which the normal member of the Church needs.
