Despite the advance of secularizing influences in many western societies, religion and faith-based organizations play a significant role in the lives of many individuals and communities. Despite this, little is known about what clergy do when faced with mental health problems among their communities. Based on an analysis of in-depth interviews with U.K. Christian, Muslim and Jewish clergy this article examines models of pastoral care provided within different faith groups. The provision of such care was generally influenced by religious tradition and beliefs, community integrity and mission. Implications of the findings for collaboration with pastoral care are discussed.
尽管在许多西方社会世俗化影响不断推进，但宗教和基于信仰的组织在许多个人和社区的生活中仍发挥着重要作用。尽管如此，对于神职人员在其社区中面对心理健康问题时的做法却知之甚少。基于对英国基督教、穆斯林和犹太教神职人员的深入访谈分析，本文考察了不同信仰群体所提供的牧师关怀模式。这种关怀的提供通常受到宗教传统与信仰、社区完整性和使命的影响。文中还讨论了这些研究结果对与牧师关怀协作的启示。
