xvii + 240hlm: 15x23,5cm How does a minister respond to a cry for help when the concern is alcohol or drug abuse? With one out of eight adults in the country suffering from alcohol dependency and one out of four families distressed by someone's use of chemicals, clergy frequently deal with related problems whether he or she is willing and capable, or not. Though Christians are often called on to deal with the chemically dependent person or those suffering from the fallout, few are trained in this area. And because few clergy are trained as treatment specialists, often they only make the problem worse through personal, empathetic involvement. Instead, Alcohol and Substance Abuse shows how clergy and laity can be pastoral problem solvers, not practitioners through intervention and referral. Since families of America weekly, Dr. Apthorp focuses on what the church family can do, and offers unique strategies to prevent problems before they begin and deal with chemical problems after they've begun. pastoral, pelayanan Alkoholisme dan agama 253 0819215104 PERPUSTAKAAN STFT WIDYA SASANA Jln.
