CSOC 526 - Pastoral Care with Immigrants and Racial Minority Families3 Credits credits
This course will explore the influence of race, ethnicity, and immigration on the process of pastoral care. This approach assumes that all persons wrestle with their ethnic identity and that this has significant implications for individual and family counseling. Although ethnic and racial identities do interact these must be understood as separate and distinct categories that will be explored throughout the course. Students will be introduced to psychoanalytic and behavioral family theories, and will pay particular attention to families with children in distress. This class will visit community mental health facilities in the area and hear presentations from chaplains, psychologists, and social workers who work with families. A significant consideration in the class is exploring the interaction of gender, race, and ethnicity on shaping family life.
