Observes that efforts are being made within certain professional counseling associations to oppose and prohibit attempts to modify homoerotic feelings and behavior on ethical grounds. Outlines several factors that can motivate the pursuit of conversion therapy and reviews data that suggest change is a viable treatment outcome. Proposes, based on an analysis of research data, an ethical framework within which conversion therapy can be legitimately practiced.

and permanent diaconate, relying on the results of a generic psychological battery is foolhardy. Clever individuals with severe personality disorders, particularly narcissistic and psychopathic personalities, can and have passed the scrutiny of the MMPI, for example. Witness the number of ministers who have been convicted of pedophilia and embezzlement who were "tested" before entering the seminary. Given the number of ministry abuse and fraudulent behavior reports that have become more common in our day, I found Ministry and Community to be a challenging and insightful book to review. There is a saying, "Erect a building and the structure shapes you." In so many ways, the genius of this invaluable and compact book is found in its accurate description of DSM-IV personality disorders. The text will speak to the reader in many soul-searching ways, "Are these traits part of my behavior or colleagues?" Or with institutional ramifications, "In what ways do the various organizations in which I am an active member either foster or heal impairment?" These questions will not easily leave the reader. Ministry and Community is really a sober resource for all religious denominations, their training programs, ministers, and co-workers. It is especially recommended for those engaged in recruitment work, formation of ministers, pastoral counselors, spiritual directors, and clinical psychiatrists who treat ministry personnel or consult on behalf of church groups. Ministry and Community is an informative and provocative work. I recommend Ministry and Community for anyone considering service in church ministry, or presently engaged in ministry leadership or supervisory positions.

pad beside them for creating such a list will be rewarded. What is the book's underlining "theology"? Kornfeld sees God active already, changing lives. "God heals, we co-operate." She sees pastors, rabbis, and other clergy, as well as lay caregivers, constructingsolutions together, assuredthat Godis already at work in the midst of our changing lives. She believes that our work can feed our own souls, particularly as we stay connected to our own experience. In a section on "listening as an act of prayer" the book gives valuable advice on both listening and praying. One missing element for this reviewer (who now, after 20 years in parish leadership, ministers as a hospital chaplain, an institution somewhat removed from my faith community) is some discussion of how the community dimension of care from faith groups, outlined so well throughout, can be utilized in the care of people in public institutions. Perhaps a second edition of this outstanding manual can include an appendix on applying the community dimension of care through chaplaincy in public institutions. If the present material is any indication, such an appendix would make a book already extremely helpful for chaplains even more valuable. This reviewer has spent twenty years in parish ministry leadership. Not once, as I read this volume, did I find myself thinking, Shedoesn'tknow whatI've had to dealwith. Kornfeld displays a fine grasp of clinical literature, pastoral work, and a keen grasp of the dynamics of life in local faith communities. She has more than succeeded in providing a useful handbook for clergy and lay leaders and caregivers in faith communities. I wish I had read a book like this twenty-five years ago! I expect to use it again and again over the next twenty-five years.

Suggests that it is possible to map these contextual features on a continuum with detached professionalism and involved familialism representing the extremes. Claims that nursing home staff are more akin to family members in their relationships with residents than are other professional caregivers who work in acute care settings.

This paper describes the role and significance of spiritual care and is the first joint statement on this subject prepared by the five largest healthcare chaplaincy organizations in North America representing over 10,000 members. As a consensus paper, it presents the perspectives of these bodies on the spiritual care they provide for the benefit of individuals, healthcare organizations and communities. Throughout this paper, the word spirituality is inclusive of religion; spiritual care includes pastoral care. Spiritual caregivers in healthcare institutions are often known as chaplains although they may have different designations in some settings, i.e. spiritual care providers. The paper contains four sections. 1. The Meaning and Practice of Spiritual Care This first section describes spirit as a natural dimension of all persons and defines the nature of spiritual care. With the basic premise that attention to spirituality is intrinsic to healthcare, the paper establishes their relationship and outlines the various environments in which it is provided. 2. Who Provides Spiritual Care? Professional chaplains provide spiritual care and this section describes their education, skills and certification. 3. The Functions and Activities of Professional Chaplains This section delineates the typical activities of professional chaplains within healthcare settings, focusing on their care of persons and their participation in healthcare teams. 4. The Benefits of Spiritual Care Provided by Professional Chaplains The materials here describe how professional chaplains benefit healthcare patients and their families, staff members, employing organizations, and communities.

ing scripture pastorally. He believes that Scripture teaches the law and the gospel, challenges the unhelpful beliefs that underlie many issues and unmet needs, and most important, Scripture guides couples into more helpful perspectives from which to view these issues and meet these needs. Thus, Chapter Five, utilizing the case scenarios, walks the reader through various skills and methods in the arts of challenging stagnant beliefs and the biblical exegesis of Ephesians 5:21-33. A book on premarital guidance would not be complete without a chapter on preparing for the wedding ceremony. Chapter Six is a continuation of the teaching model found in Chapter Five. Taylor presents a model for praying scripture and for the wedding rite to help couples prepare for their nuptials. An outline for constructing a wedding policy for individualized ceremonies, rehearsals, and family conferences is also provided. The final chapter is a reflection of the Metanoia Model from each pastor used in the case scenarios. An Appendix A provides the reader with available materials for couple guidance and Appendix B gives Tailor's models for prayer with a couple. This book is a hallmark contribution in the area of premarital "counseling." The Metanoia Model is impressive in its ability to be all-encompassing, yet simple to understand and employ. Taylor has done an exceptional job in providing a manual that fills the gap in the area of pastoral training. He readily admits that the scope of the book is limited to a directly Christian influence and a primarily American culture. Nonetheless, seminary students and congregation-based ministers should benefit greatly from the information gleaned in this volume.

Presents the Hamilton Supervised Pastoral Evaluation Tool (HSET). HSET is a self-report that evaluates student learning in a basic SPE unit utilizing six areas: supervisory relationship, personal growth, professional growth, theological reflection, learning context, and overall growth. Reviews statistics involving seven regional units consisting of 18 SPE units with 101 students. Utilizes methodological, investigator, and data triangulation by drawing on qualitative study and CAPPE accreditation review. Discusses strengths and weaknesses of HSET and makes recommendations for further use.
