Through the Eyes of Women: Insights for Pastoral Care

by Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner

A comprehensive survey of care of women, by women, from a religious standpoint results from the collaboration of nineteen leading women in the field of pastoral care. Subjects include the role of women in pastoral theology and pastoral care, care of African American women, and of women entering ministry. The book treats anger, aggression, lesbian identities, loss of mothers, eating disorders, hysterectomy, mastectomy, rape, and older women's issues. The volume concludes with women's spiritual care, community, self-sacrifice, and self-denial.

As with any anthology, the essays in this book are inconsistent in their quality. It's also twelve years old, so some of the information and ideas are a bit dated. However, it's a good resource for anyone planning to do pastoral care among women.
