Description: The Bloomsbury Guide to Pastoral Care provides a framework for reflection on pastoral care practice and identifies frontier learning in pastoral care research. The first section sets out core principles underpinning the professional identity and practice of pastoral care. The distinctive language and frameworks of the field of discourse that constitutes 'pastoral care' is examined. The challenge to pastoral care practitioners to work between and beyond disciplinary boundaries is discussed. The strategies and practices being employed in teaching and researching pastoral care receive attention in order to deepen reflection and learning in the field of practice.This generic discussion is followed by consideration of nine themes which figure prominently in research projects of graduate students undertaking pastoral care studies today: Addictions, Children's Well-being, Migration, Ageing, Reconciliation / Forgiveness, Bullying and Harassment, Bereavement, Contemporary Spiritual Seeking, and Mental Health. Each theme is explored theoretically and practically.
