The chaplain/pastoral counselor as a behavioral medicine consultant in cardiac rehabilitation: a team approach.
Pastoral Behavioral Medicine Consultants can make a valuable contribution to the modern hospital particularly if physicians and other health care professionals are joined in offering creative and effective programs for healing. This article discusses several programs in which the traditional hospital chaplain's role is extended to that of a pastoral/behavioral medicine consultant (PBMC). The examples are meant to stimulate the reader's interest, ideas and intuition about innovative ways that the modern PBMC can not only survive but flourish in chaplain/pastoral counseling ministries.
