Nonetheless, literature about Filipino priests' lived experiences and competencies in counseling is almost non-existent. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the researcher explored the lived experiences and competencies of Filipino diocesan parish priests in their role as pastoral counselors. The study was framed in Phenomenology, the Philippines Psychology Act of 2009, and the 2009 competencies of the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC), a division within the American Counseling Association (ACA). Data were collected using a semi-structured interview, and the analysis yielded seven (7) themes under three (3) clusters. The findings revealed that the participants lack the prerequisites to be rightfully called pastoral counselors.

Six cases were used to demonstrate common themes of these constructions: humans are capable of everything; anyone can be violated, even killed; evil and cruelty comes in many forms; coldness/cynicism; exhausting to witness suffering and pain; and existential rumination. The impact of these can affect a veteran's identity and their notions of self. However, processing encounters with evil is seen, in some Christian perspectives, as an essential prerequisite for spiritual growth, and this might be potentially important to supporting the emergence of spiritual veteran identities. A pastoral care giver or military chaplain can serve as an existential conversation partner who can assist veterans when approaching such experiences and their potential impact. This may be especially fertile in secular contexts, where pastoral wisdom and ontological approaches can be hard to find in the everyday lives of veterans.</p>","PeriodicalId":44361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling","volume":" ","pages":"148-157"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10704872/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72015678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Centering Neuro-Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Professional Fields of Care.","authors":"Mary Beth Yount","doi":"10.1177/15423050231180788","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15423050231180788","url":null,"abstract":"This issue has excellent material revolving around community inclusivity and support, and the research and reflections can call us to examine our professional approaches and the work of our associations. We can all grow in accessible and inclusive support for colleagues, patients, and clients. The two closing items emphasize neurodiversity, especially inclusion and equity of neuro-minorities. As Jonathan Alschech, in his review of the “Love on the Spectrum” media series writes: “As healing professionals that respect and encourage the expression of each person’s full humanity, we are invited to be informed and critical viewers” of the media and society around us. This editor would add our professional fields and associations to this critical study as well. Alschech addresses our responsibility in terms of an “emancipatory, equity-diversity-inclusion (EDI) centered approach” (2023). Our professional fields and practices of care require advocacy and uplifting of diverse perspectives and ways of being. Supportive and professional caregiving fields such as clinical counseling, chaplaincy, pastoral care, and teaching, will always include practitioners and clients/patients/students that have, as Alschech writes, “an open, wide, and complex multiplicity of ways in which people experience and process sensory stimuli, experience and understand other people and social interactions, use and understand language and non-verbal communication, and regulate their emotions and behaviors” (2023). In what ways are we allowing an appreciation of neurodiversity to inform our professions? Are we acknowledging the gifts brought by such varied perspectives and experiences in our colleagues as well as those from our clients? Are we accommodating and supporting providers who might be on the autism spectrum by making implicit processes more explicit? Many of the professional fields of care have, as the article in this issue by Robert Klitzman et al. highlights, subjective and imprecise roles and processes. In addressing “spiritual, religious and existential issues, stresses and care involve inherent subjectivities and are therefore ill defined, making the boundaries of chaplains’ roles relatively diffuse and blurry” (2023). There are many unspoken social cues in such practices of care, requiring the professional to make ongoing decisions about when to end particular visits as well as therapeutic relationships. Persons with autism or otherwise neurodiverse, whether professional care providers or patients/families, are likely to find implicit cues challenging to provide or interpret. Chaplains, pastors, and other professionals often rely on verbal and nonverbal cues to determine how to proceed with each patient and family, including frequency and duration of visits. Training programs should include education in these areas, including social stories and scripts to support practitioners in navigating this ambiguous and subjective space. Accommodating to make the implicit more e","PeriodicalId":44361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling","volume":"77 2","pages":"79-80"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9631258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
