Critical Caring
DeMarinis unabashedly argues that the use of religions, beliefs, symbols, and rituals--as well as other resources of the community of faith--are crucial to the therapeutic encounter in pastoral psychotherapy. Balancing "careful judgment" and "appropriate concern", she constructs a feminist methodology of critical caring, synthesized from the fields of pastoral psychology, feminist hermeneutics, and the psychology of religion.

Christian Theology in Practice
For the past fifty years, scholars in both pastoral and practical theology have attempted to recapture human religious experience and practice as essential sites for theological engagement -- redefining in the process what theology is, how it is done, and who does it. In this book Bonnie J. Miller-McLemore shows how this trend in scholarship has led to an expanded subject matter, alternative ways of knowing, and richer terms for analysis in doing Christian theology. Tracing more than two decades of her own search for a more inclusive discipline -- one that truly grapples with theology in the midst of life -- Christian Theology in Practice shows not only where Miller-McLemore herself has traveled in the field but also how pastoral and practical theology has developed during this time. Looking forward, Miller-McLemore calls on the academy and Christian congregations to disrupt conventional theological boundaries and to acknowledge the multiplicity of shapes and places in which the "wisdom of God" appears..

Women: The Misunderstood Majority
Fact: Women are the major consumers of counseling services today. Fact: The average counselor (male or female, secular or pastoral) has little or no specific training in the psychology of women or in understanding women's issues. Result: A widespread therapy gap that reduces respect, hinders healing, and breeds frustration. M. Gay Hubbard writes to close that disturbing gap by exposing common misbeliefs and faulty assumptions about women that can block understanding and perpetuate pain. Her aim in this provocative yet balanced book is to: ¥ Increase women's self-understanding and make them smarter consumers of counseling services. ¥ Challenge the myths of womanhood--old and new--that perva...
The Talking Cure
The Talking Cure examines four nationally syndicated television talk shows--Donahue, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Geraldo and Sally Jessy Raphael--which are primarily devoted to feminine culture and issues. Serving as one of the few public forums where working-class women and those with different sexual orientations have a voice, these talk shows represent American TV at its most radical. Shattuc examines the tension between talk's feminist politics and the television industry, who, in their need to appeal to women, trades on sensation, stereotypes and fears in order to engender product consumption. However, this genre is not a one-way form of social interaction. The female audience complies and resists in a complex give-and-take, and it is this relationship which The Talking Cure aims to understand and reveal.
