"My principal teaching and research
interests are grounded in pastoral theology, care and
counseling, with a focus on multiculturalism, gender
relations, grief, forgiveness and relationship issues. The
application of psychoanalytic object relations theory and
family systems theory in pastoral practice and themes in
political and liberation theologies relevant for pastoral
care are continuing areas of my attention. Underlying these
specialized interests is a more comprehensive interest in
the interplay of theology, culture, and counseling
psychology and their bearing on the shape and practice of
ministry. Having served in parish ministry and practiced
clinical pastoral counseling, I bring this experience to the
classroom."
