This groundbreaking book now updated and expanded furthers its original effective time-saving approach that benefits pastors overtaxed by counseling demands Dr Charles Kollar presents a departure in pastoral counseling showing that counseling need not be long-term or depend on psychological manipulation to produce dramatic results In most cases the solution lies with the counselees themselves Using the tested methods found in Solution-Focused Pastoral Counseling pastors apart from counselors will be well equipped to help their counselees discover a solution and put it in motion speedily and productively SFPC is short-term---typically one to five sessions in which the counselor seeks to create solutions with---not for---the counselee The focus is on the possibility of life without the problem through an understanding of what is different when the problem does not occur or is less intrusive The goal is healthy change sooner rather than later by helping the counselee see and work on the solution with God's activity already present in his or her life The solution-focused approach does not require the counselor to be a highly trained psychological expert It requires biblically based sensitivity and common sense Yet this approach also recognizes its limitations and understands that there are situations in which other professional andor medical help is required
