Title: Becoming a Healthier Pastor: Family Systems Theory and the Pastor's Own Family By: Ronald W. Richardson Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 160 Vendor: Fortress Press Publication Date: 2004 | Dimensions: 8.5 X 5.5 (inches) Weight: 8 ounces ISBN: 0800636392 ISBN-13: 9780800636395 Series: Creative Pastoral Care and Counseling Stock No: WW636390 |
In this sequel to Creating a Healthier Church, Richardson employs the same methodology to address the roots of personal issues that may hinder pastors ability to function effectively as leaders within their congregations, and may in fact cause them deep difficulties. He especially addresses pastors own families of origin, a major but often hidden component in how they function emotionally in their congregations. When anxiety arises, unresolved familial issues and old family patterns return, often unhelpfully. Richardson explores these patterns, how they operate in church situations, and how pastors can do their own family-of-origin assessment. His volume will become a standard tool for analysis of patterns in ministerial behavior and developing strong personal effectiveness.
