Addiction and pastoral care / [print] Sonia E. Waters. - Grand Rapids, Michigan : William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, (c)2019. - xiv, 226 pages ; 23 cm
Addiction as soul-sickness -- This is your brain on drugs -- Addiction, attachment, and trauma -- Addiction and social suffering -- Soul-sickness and the legion -- Motivational interviewing and change -- Moving into change.
A timely resource treating addiction holistically as both a spiritual and a pathological condition. Substance addictions present a unique set of challenges for pastoral care. In this book Sonia Waters weaves together personal stories, research, and theological reflection to offer helpful tools for ministers, counselors, chaplains, and anyone else called to care pastorally for those struggling with addiction. Waters uses the story of the Gerasene demoniac in Mark's Gospel to reframe addiction as a "soul-sickness" that arises from a legion of individual and social vulnerabilities. She includes pastoral reflections on oppression, the War on Drugs, trauma, guilt, discipleship, and identity. The final chapters focus on practical-care skills that address the challenges of recovery, especially ambivalence and resistance to change.
