To make this practical and realistic each student will prepare to be interviewed for a position that they would like to acquire. This will be a “mock” interview with faculty from the Area of Counseling and Pastoral Care. Questions can cover any area of the student’s training deemed relevant.

Friedman, E. H. (1985). Generation to Generation: Family Process in Church and Synagogue. New York: Guilford Press. ISBN: 0-87630-881-7 This is the foundation text for this course. You may find this challenging reading if family systems terms are new to you. Friedman's insights into the processes of family and church are worth the price of the book - especially chapters 8 & 9. Guerin, P.J., Jr., Forgarty, T. F., Fay, L.F., Kautto, J. G. (1996). Working with Relationship Triangles. New York: Guilford Press. Guerin, et al. adds some meat and bones to many of Friedman's principles. I found this book very engaging, and very practical! McGoldrick, M. & Gerson, R. (). Genograms in Family Assessment. Norton.
