Overview

This accessible primer sets out the core elements and methods of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE), and shows how to use it most effectively to improve clinicians' capacity for spiritual care. The guide explains how to learn best from verbatim sessions, open agenda groups and writing projects. It shows how the primary learning modalities of CPE add competence to a spiritual caregiver's practice, suggesting helpful ways to reflect on spiritual care encounters from varying perspectives. It recommends ways to collaborate with a peer group, enhance frameworks of understanding people, improve self-awareness and broaden one's scope of caring while also deepening it. Written by an experienced supervisor of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, this guide is an essential introduction for anyone seeking to foster positive attitudes and practice of spiritual care in hospitals, hospices and other clinical settings.

Reviews

A CPE Primer offers both highlights and deep insights to anyone interested in clinical pastoral education. Novices will find basic descriptions of assignments and processes, which may decrease anxiety enough for learning to proceed. Those progressing toward maturity as cpe educators will find a broad template to test their own emphases and gaps. Teachers of any process education method will be able to explore the results of a mature, 100-hundred-year movement that is ever changing around its core values and convictions.
