Description
One of the reasons is fear mentioned above is fear – fear of doing something wrong, fear of the illness itself, and sometimes the fear of potential violence.
The book emphasises the family nature of church and how this model can be applied to church practice in relation to those who suffer psychiatric disorders.
Many of the themes presented in the book have a broader application in the church than to mental disorder alone, and have implications for pastoral care in general terms. Although written by a qualified Christian psychiatrist, the material is presented without using overly technical language making it easy to read and follow.
