The first unit concludes by focusing on some special issues that occur in pastoral care (e.g., grief and burnout). Second, it introduces several tools and ideas that can be used practically in a number of pastoral care and crisis situations.These are not offered as a checklist agenda for a minister to follow when you visit someone in the hospital or are called upon to intervene in a crisis.
