[Pastoral psychology, spiritual counseling in dentistry. Review of the literature].

Although there were drastic changes in the XX-th century, still 70% of the Hungarian population believe in God, and 10-15% can be counted as active believer. A percentage of 44% of the hospitalised patients indicated a need of pastoral counseling during the treatment time. In the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy the percentage of the need of religious care (pastoral psychology, pastoral counseling) may be even higher. In the field of dentistry the increasing number of psychosomatic patients justify the introduction of such religious treatment methods into the dental care system as well. In this review authors try to collect the main points of this special, religious type of therapy to help dental professionals working in the field of psychosomatic dentistry in the orientation in this interesting and important field.

An evaluation of the quantity and quality of empirical research in three pastoral care and counseling journals, 1990-1999: has anything changed?

This article summarizes a review of all articles published in Pastoral Psychology, The Journal of Rleigion and Health, and The Journal of Pastoral Care between 1900 and 1999, identifying a total of 737 scholarly articles, of which 165 (22.4%) were research studies. The proportion of research studies, especially quantitative studies, increased significantly between the first and second half of the study period (p < .05). There was a significant positive correlation between compliance with three out of four criteria of internal validity. Three of five criteria of external validity were also positively related to one another. Compared to previous research using identical criteria to assess quantitative studies in the same journals in 1980-1989, the 1990-1999 sample showed improved compliance with respect to specifying the sampling method (p < .001), reporting the response rate (p < .05), and discussing the limitations of research studies (p < .001). However, the overall findings suggest that many researchers in the field do not have a sophisticated knowledge of statistical sampling, statistical analysis, or research design. Several recommendations for increasing the quality of quantitative research are offered.

Lay pastoral care: spiritual and psychological challenges.

By welcoming laypersons into the pastoral ministry, the Church is participating in transformation--clearing away the familiar patterns of ministry so that the laity can respond more fully to its baptismal calling. Three basic questions should be asked in meeting the challenges of this calling: 1. Who should be chosen for lay pastoral care? Those selected should not be overly passive, but assertive and mature in their faith. 2. What should be expected of pastoral laypersons? Catholic hospitals should be careful not to exploit lay ministers by expecting extraordinary sacrifices (e.g., being on call 24 hours a day and on weekends) that will burn out the lay minister and adversely affect his or her family. 3. What are the potential roadblocks to the laity's success? One danger is that hospital's financial belt-tightening could disproportionately penalize pastoral care. Another pitfall is the misperception that the lay ministry movement is a means of moving clergy and religious out of the way. We are being called to act now in developing lay ministers. This is not a one-way process in which clergy and religious "act upon" the laity through the Spirit. Rather, it is a two-way transaction, for the laity have the Spirit, too, and are themselves a source of divine power. As they take on pastoral responsibilities, laypersons will of course need guidance. But this guidance should be given in a spirit of equality and with an understanding of the interdependence of all members of the Body of Christ.

The letting loose of hope: where psychology of religion and pastoral care converge.

Argues that William James's pragmatic method of truth provides a bridge over which the fields of psychology of religion and pastoral care might together pass. Proposes that this method enables us to see that psychology of religion understands hope to be the core of genuine religious experience and that pastoral care is fundamentally about enabling individuals (singly or collectively) to have, and recognize that they have had, religious experiences of hope.
