What is Clinical Pastoral Care
“Pastoral Care” is care that is understood by the metaphor of the shepherd (“pastol”) in caring for the sheep. Within the Jewish and Christian faiths, this metaphor has had a long history. Typically, the care can be seen in terms of:
Guiding
Healing
Sustaining
Nurturing

What is Clinical Pastoral Care?
Clinical Pastoral Care simply means Pastoral Care done in a “clinical” environment, such as a hospital.
It often is also applied to other envirnoments such as jails.
One who serves in a clinical environment and provides pastoral care is often called a “chaplain.”
However, other ministers or laypersons may take on the role of providing clinical pastoral care.

History of Clinical Pastoral Care
Clinical Pastoral Education (aka Clinical Pastoral Training) began in the US in the 1920’s through Anton Boisen, Richard Cabot, and Helen Flanders Dunbar

History of Clinical Pastoral CareRev.Anton Boisen, father of the
Clinical Pastoral Education/ Training movement, saw the need for pastoral care in mental hospitals after being a patient there himself. He placed theological students in supervised contact with patients in mental hospitals.
He gave strong emphasis on the role of theology in pastoral care. FAITH and MENTAL HEALTH.

to define the physician's, as well as the health care system's, role in human well-being, presaged medicine's current attempts to emphasize the social context of the patient.

Clinical Pastoral Education
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) has developed into a program of preparation for ministers, chaplains, and laypersons committed to provide pastoral care in clinical settings as well as other settings.
CPE is broken up into units. Each unit is 400 hours of practical ministry and reflection, and 100 hours of lecture, supervision, and group work.

CPE Program
Trainees experience a variety of opportunities to reflect on their cultural clinical experience with supervisors, peers and other professions. The primary components of CPE focus learning in three areas:
Pastoral Competence... Through case presentations of pastoral visits, group life, topical didactics and individual supervision with a CPE Supervisor.
Professional Competence... Through professional presentation and supervised practice opportunities offered by a CPE Supervisor, pastoral care staff and other interdisciplinary professionals.
Conceptual Competence... Through individual and group- focused theological reflection on life-based experience

CPE Group
The CPE trainees typically are 4-6 in number plus a supervisor.
Trainees may be in different units while in the same group, however, different units will have different reading assignments, different type of supervision, and different responsibilities within the clinical setting.
We seek to have a diverse group when possible in religious faith, gender, and race. We find diversity aids in the group learning process.

Accreditation
There are a number of organizations that certify Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). One of the largest and most respected ones is the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy.

Intensive UnitThe intensive unit is best for student interns or for those who are able to fully invest of their time in CPE. 400 hours, typically over about 11 weeks.
Extended UnitThe extended unit is the same in every way as the Intensive unit, except that the schedule is spread over a longer period of time. It is useful for professionals who do not have the option to invest full-time in CPE. 400 hour, typically over 16-20 weeks.
Half UnitSome trainees prefer to take a half unit. This is especially useful for those involved in theological schools or denominations that require CPE training experience, but do not require a full unit. 200 hour over about 6-7 weeks.
