What strategies can pastoral care use to deal with concrete crisis situations? On the basis of reflected pastoral care situations, Thomas Wild offers models of thought and interpretations that broaden horizons of understanding and options for behaviour. Pastoral care enjoys social prestige and recognition even in secular contexts. At the same time, it becomes clear that it too must develop further and prove itself professionally if it wants to survive in the interdisciplinary environment. The book is an invitation to examine one's own ways of thinking and one's own pastoral practice in order to develop new and expanded strategies and to do justice to concrete crisis situations. At the same time, it offers all interested readers stimulating insights into modern and professional pastoral care work.
