Book excerpt: DeMarinis unabashedly argues that the use of religions, beliefs, symbols, and rituals--as well as other resources of the community of faith--are crucial to the therapeutic encounter in pastoral psychotherapy. Balancing "careful judgment" and "appropriate concern", she constructs a feminist methodology of critical caring, synthesized from the fields of pastoral psychology, feminist hermeneutics, and the psychology of religion.
