Shared Wisdom

More about the book

Focusing on the concept of countertransference, this book explores the vital role of understanding personal emotional responses in ministry. It introduces a relational paradigm that incorporates insights from intersubjectivity, multicultural dynamics, and shared wisdom, enhancing pastoral assessment and theological reflection. Pamela Cooper-White combines postmodern, psychoanalytic, and theological perspectives, supported by case studies, to illustrate how caregivers can utilize their own feelings for deeper discernment and improved care in pastoral contexts.
