From developmental and training perspectives, previous studies have defined pastoral identity as an individual property of pastoral practitioners. Grounded on an empirical study of interviewing 20 pastoral counselors and chaplains, this paper presents pastoral identity as a social construction between pastoral caregivers and seekers (and God in the midst). Informed by a recent social-psychological approach to identity, the paper explores one possibility for an interactional, intersubjective, and constructive paradigm of pastoral identity.
从发展和培训的角度来看，以往的研究将牧师身份定义为牧师从业者的个人属性。基于对20位牧师顾问和牧师进行访谈的实证研究，本文提出牧师身份是牧师照顾者与寻求者（以及其间的上帝）之间的一种社会建构。受近期身份认同的社会心理学方法启发，本文探讨了牧师身份认同的一种互动、主体间性和建构性范式的可能性。
