In \u003ci\u003eTrauma-Informed Pastoral Care: How to Respond When Things Fall Apart\u003c\/i\u003e, pastoral psychologist Karen A. McClintock calls clergy to learn and practice \"\"trauma-informed care\"\" so they can respond with competence and confidence when life becomes overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWeaving together the latest insights about trauma-informed care from the rapidly shifting disciplines of neuropsychology, counseling, and theology, she explains the body's instinctual stress patterns during and after trauma, guides readers through self-reflection and self-regulation in order to care for others and lower the risk of obtaining secondary trauma, and suggests culturally sensitive models for healing from overwhelming experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMcClintock particularly attends to the fact that across a lifetime in ministry, clergy accumulate and need to regularly heal multiple traumatic wounds. As a pastor and psychologist, she is perfectly positioned to help clergy recognize symptoms of trauma and commit to healing individual, community, and generational trauma with care and cultural sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcClintock, Karen a.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKaren A.
