title: Clergy in crisis: when human power isn't enough.
abstract: The author cites current research and more than a decade of clinical work with hundreds of clergy from a variety of denominations to suggest an approach for empowerment and renewal by addressing the tension between the call to ministry and the need for self-validation. He describes a short-term, multi-counselor, intensive intervention for clergy in crisis and offers two heuristic models designed to facilitate integration of the domains of clinical diagnosis and spiritual discernment.
