questioning, the creation of healthy rituals and ceremonies, the role of the Bible, ways to meet local therapists, and the benefits of collaboration. Of particular interest and value are selected guided imageries created by Bilich. The case of Teresa threads the book. A troubled woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formally known as Multiply Personality Disorder), Teresa was abused physically, emotionally, and spiritually by her mother, an uncle, and a cousin. As Bilich worked with Teresa in a healing process, Carlson began meeting with Mimic, one of Teresa's ten alters. Collaboration between Bilich, Carlson, and Bonfiglio offered Teresa, according to the authors, a fuller experience than traditional psychotherapy alone could have offered. Carlson demonstrated how a minister, in collaboration, can help a therapist to move beyond a single focus on pathology and begin to ask God's help in discovering the image of God within the survivor, A minister can become another important source of support and help bring the survivor back into community. Bilich demonstrated how a therapist can help a minister through collaboration-with limit setting, for example. As professionals, the authors know how holistic healing happens and how healthy love and relationships develop. Both the client and the reader benefit from their collective wisdom. Each author, too, claims growth spiritually, emotionally, and professionallyas a result of their collaboration, along with profound changes in the way each works. I have two observations about the book that I offer as thoughts, not necessarily criticisms. First, it might surprise some to see these authors' occasional unconventional clinical interventions, i.e., Bilich seeing Teresa outside of the office and Carlson taking out Teresa's garbage. Second, as a former parish pastor for a number of years, I was surprised that clinical supervision of a parish support group was not perceived by Bilich and company as of greater importance. However, these observations do not detract from my assessment that the book makes for a unique and valuable resource. The book's bibliography is quite adequate, utilizing a broad range of supporting literature and resources, and the appendices are useful. Overall, the book is a practical, quality book, and is quite user-friendly. I recommend Shared Grace to anyone engaged in ministry leadership, therapy, or supervisory positions. Exciting to me is how this volume opens the door for other clinicians concerned with the collaboration between spirituality and psychotherapy, perhaps from a more systemic perspective.

Presents the findings of the second phase of a research study carried out in the summer of 1999 and commissioned by CAPPE/ACPEP, and The Churches' Council on Theological Education in Canada. Reports the results of a survey of students who completed a basic unit in Supervised Pastoral Education to identity the self-perceived effects of the unit on their pastoral functioning. Notes that the results of both the first and second phase of the research affirm the use of experiential learning and the success of basic SPE in increasing self-awareness.

This limitation was minimized for this reviewer who heard major themes in her own personal narrative and life journey as a women being addressed within the discussion. However, additional case material and clinical vignettes might have been value added for male pastors who counsel women. Counseling Women is a fine addition to the research and literature in the field of pastoral counseling and an excellent resource for all pastors, pastoral care specialists, pastoral counselors, and other clinicians who value spirituality as well as psychology and prefer an integrated approach to their counseling with women.

Opines that whatever other political, polemical, or sociological constructs may be applied to these biblical passages, this interpretative axis supports a scientifically credible account of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness despite David's incapacitating depression.

tant section on grief. They sensitively represent the complex interplay between the reliving of past victimization and, through projection, the subtle potential for re-victimizing others. There is just one caution to be raised in this section pertaining to couples' therapy. The battered women's movement has long cautioned against couples' therapy where there is ongoing violence. Victims often cannot safely share deep experiences without risking retaliation. Therapists do need tools to address intense, chaotic couples' dynamics. At the same time, the authors' depth-oriented couples' method needs stronger safeguards against recurrence of violence, together with a more adequate analysis of power in intimate relationships, and how patriarchal privilege continues to reinforce violence against women. In Part III in general, "evil" rather fades from the picture, and the focus shifts mainly to clinical treatment of trauma. Parts II and III might both be strengthened by a more thorough integration of the clinical theory with explicitly religious language about God, sin, and theodicy (the authors' starting point in Part I). Part IV, then, which calls for a prophetic stance, represents a welcome return of theological language. For this reader, this was the most exciting and integrative section of the book. The authors argue against a splitting of prophetic response from pastoral care, and frame pastoral counseling itself as a form of cultural critique. They argue for an end in teaching and practice to a view of pastoral care and counseling as standing in opposition to social and political critique, and call for an integration of the two into a creative, holistic response to evil in all its guises. The strength of the book, its groundedness in clients' own experiences of evil and trauma, also in one way became its main weakness. In pastoral counseling, as in the counseling field in general, the vast majority of both counselors and clients are middle-class and white. Available forms of counseling have tended, in turn, to be captivated by medical and managed care models that have embedded racial and class privilege and cultural assumptions. By drawing on their own clinical experience with abuse survivors, the authors' account of evil and trauma stays experiencenear to their own clients' stories, but there is no explicit mention of race, class, sexual orientation, or social oppression. The authors' discussion of evil in Part I actually offered, without naming racism as such, a compelling description of the damages inflicted not only by sexual abuse but by racism and other systemic evils. Because the book is not intended solely as a book on sexual or domestic violence, it would have been enriched by more multi-cultural case examples (perhaps drawing from other practitioners working in different contexts), and by explicit references, both theoretical and case-related, to the racism, classism, heterosexism, and other forms of oppression that also deeply wound and
