Resurrecting the Person

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the intersection of mental illness and societal attitudes, John Swinton highlights that the challenges faced by individuals often stem from societal reactions rather than purely biological factors. He argues for a shift in the church's approach to pastoral care, advocating for a model that emphasizes rehumanization through friendship and supportive relationships. This perspective suggests that effective care extends beyond traditional psychiatric methods to include the importance of community and understanding in the healing process.
