Reframing: A New Method in Pastoral Care

Front Cover
Fortress Press, Jan 1, 1990 - Religion - 195 pages
"I have read Professor Capp's Reframing with great interest. Since my colleagues and I have long thought of our concepts and practices as broad and general?as potentially applicable beyond our clinical sphere of psychotherapy?it is very satisfying to see this solid and skillful extension of our work into the very wide and important field of pastoral care."? John H. Weakland, Brief Therapy Center Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, California
