| Résumé : |
A book that can liberate readers from narrow provincialism, Pastoral Counseling Across Cultures offers Americans new ways of understanding themselves and their culture by helping them better understand their newly arrived neighbors.
This first thorough investigation of intercultural counseling builds on the idea that “pastoral care around the world is, as it-must be, as varied as is the human family.” David Augsburger speaks about counseling those who are not part of the dominant Western culture. He challenges counselors— and those training to be counselors— to go beyond their own boundaries. He demonstrates that the integrity of the church’s mission requires those in the caring professions to be concerned with genuine dialogue among cultures, faiths, and values. He examines human needs in the world community in order to understand how the gospel’s universal message relates to individuals in dramatically different circumstances. The principles described apply to America, where waves of new immigrants have enriched an already diverse culture, as well as to other areas, such as Korea, Africa, and India, where the church strives to maintain an authentic presence. Among the topics considered are grace and human failure, values, the family, sexuality, and liberation. Drawing from his research and experiences in more than a dozen third world countries, he describes what can be learned in a rewarding exchange of cultures. The book is filled with his observations and illustrated by numerous folktales and case studies from around the world. The pastoral counselors who read this book will find that Augsburger opens many new doors. Simply stated, his message is that “to be culturally effective is a gift, a gift received through learning from other cultures, through being teachable in encounters with those who differ, and through coming to esteem other world views equally with one’s own.” |
