PSTH 646 - The Landscape of Loss: Pastoral Care in Situations of Death, Dying, and Grief

3 credits
Through readings, lectures, films, interviews, and discussion, students study psychological, cultural, and religious dimensions of the experiences of death, dying, and grief. The focus is on understanding these dimensions in order to minister effectively to persons in need. Emphasis is on group discussions, since effective ministry requires that the minister be open to different ways of experiencing these realities. Prerequisite: CSOC 504  or successful completion of Clinical Pastoral Education. Signature of instructor required for registration. Same as: COMFE 587 .
