basis for conversations with them at local and area clergy meetings, which often led to a
series of classes in which I explained Adler's ideas and LEAP resources in detail, for
application in pastoral work. I have been a minister in the United Church of Christ since
1962. The book has two main parts: |

Adlerian psychotherapy, all discussed in terms of their relation to pastoral work,
pastoral counseling, etc."Part Two: The LifeCourse Effective Action Program" is an introduction to LEAP and the various ways clergy can use it, it's ideas and methods, in their pastoral work.
