Sexual Liberation
Presents an account of the strange ways sexual pleasure has been devalued, even demonised, in the West by the forces of Christendom and its legacy in the modern world. This book tells the story of how sex came to be regarded by societies throughout the ages as perverse, sinful, and wrong.
Nine More Clinical Cases
Anton T. Boisen, who started the clinical pastoral movement, believed that carefully reviewing cases of actual patients is the only effective way to train chaplains. But what distinguishes clinical chaplaincy in the tradition of Boisen from the work of other religious or spiritual practitioners who might lay claim to the title "chaplain"? Responding to a second volume of cases published by George Fitchett and Steve Nolan, the distinguished CPE supervisor Raymond J. Lawrence provides alternative approaches to each case, ones that penetrate more deeply into the heart and soul of the patient, offering a more compassionate and meaningful sort of chaplaincy.Like its predecessor volume, Nine Clinical Cases: The Soul of Pastoral Care & Counseling, this book is intended for those who want to move from a service delivery and "prayer warrior" form of chaplaincy to one that is more psychodynamically based. It is also intended for those who train chaplains and aspire to doing so better.
Recovery of Soul
The clinical pastoral movement in the 20th century changed the face of American religion. Written from an insider's point of view, the movement's development is candidly presented in this monograph. The book offers a fresh account of the complex beginnings of contemporary clinical chaplaincy and pastoral counseling rooted in one clergyman's psychosis and his emergence from it, Freud and the development of psychoanalytic theory, and the various and contradictory ways that religion in America responded. Author Raymond J. Lawrence pulls no punches in his chronicle of the movement in its many aspects, from the sordid to the transformative and all that is in-between. From the life and work of founder Anton T. Boisen and his principal collaborator Helen Flanders Dunbar, to key figures such as Wayne Oates, Myron Maddon, Joan Hemenway and Donald Capps, Lawrence provides not just a history but also a revealing memoir of his own 50 years' experience that amount to a "complex, accursed, and redemptive story" of the clinical pastoral care movement.
Nine Clinical Cases:
This book is actually an expanded review of the Fitchett-Nolan book and its thesis. For each of the nine cases and for each of the three associated critiques, I have provided a summary. Following that, I add my own critique of each case itself and of each associated critique. Following that is a summary and critique of the chapter on ethical concerns by David B. McCurdy. Finally, I set the entire book in the context of the clinical pastoral training tradition. Most of the published work on clinical pastoral supervision seems to have focused on principles and theory. The value of the Fitchett-Nolan work is that it is based on specific clinical cases, the nine cases that are published in the b...

Paper Dragons
Beginning with the author’s earliest memories of adventures as a young boy in a small Kentucky town, Paper Dragons is a story of a long journey--a journey through time in the life of an ordinary person living in a very extraordinary world. Extraordinary, in that it moves through dramatically changing times--spanning five decades of music, war, civil unrest, and cultural evolution. "Paper Dragons” is not just stories from the author’s life, but a tale of inner battles and self-discovery. On a self-guided tour of life’s roads, our restless hero sets out to find his Arcadia with intentions of escaping his non-inspiring life. From the bluegrass meadows of Kentucky to the mountains of New Hampshire, he pursues and finds a life he has dreamed of. Once found, his new world presents a fresh and unique set of adversaries to conquer and sends him on a much different quest. Following his new precedence, he travels through a land of monsters and dragons, where he discovers unforeseen truths about his life. Armed with a great weapon bestowed upon him as a child, he battles his enemies and finds his true Shangri-La in a most unlikely place.
