Description
Summary:Suggests a parallel between the situation that provoked a code of ethics for feminist therapy and the current situation in pastoral ministry. Notes that both professions have critiqued others' professional ethics and have tended to consider themselves, by definition, ethical. Observes that both professions possess diverse theoretical perspectives and often propose practices which raise ethical dilemmas not governed by traditional codes of ethics. Opines that boundary maintenance in small communities and the notion of overlapping relationships may carry solutions from some feminist therapy to the solving of problems of ministerial ethics. Claims that making self-care a part of ethics is essential.
