title: So great a cloud of witnesses: the use of family systems process in forming pastoral identity and facilitating pastoral functioning.
abstract: Describes the use of genograms in units of Clinical Pastoral Education. Provides the reader with a theoretical base for viewing experiences in CPE as manifestations of family of origin factors. Reflects on how such connections can enrich recognitions of the power of transference in relationships and thus provide the caregiver with greater insight into how he or she may express ministry and caregiving activities.
