Document Details : Title: Positive Family Pastoral Care and Counseling Subtitle: A Reading of Pope Francis's Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia Author(s): MESSINGUÉ, Jean , MCNAMEE, Sheila Journal: Counseling et spiritualité / Counselling and Spirituality Volume: 36 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2017 Pages: 71-91 DOI: 10.2143/CS.36.1.3285227 Abstract : The authors of this article explain how Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia is an invitation to a radically new praxis of family pastoral counseling in the Catholic church. By presenting the theological foundations and the counseling process of this new pastoral praxis, they particularly show how a positive family pastoral care and counseling is suggested in Amoris Laetitia. Thus, they position positive psychology as a relevant framework to better understanding Amoris Laetitia and Amoris Laetitia as an introduction to applied positive psychology in pastoral care and counseling. Les auteurs de cet article expliquent comment l’Exhortation Apostolique du Pape François, Amoris Laetitia, est une invitation à un changement radical de la praxis du pastoral counseling familial. En présentant les fondements théologiques et le processus de cette nouvelle praxis pastorale familiale, ils montrent comment Amoris Laetitia suggère une approche positive du counseling pastoral de la famille. Par le fait même, ils présentent la psychologie positive comme le cadre théorique qui permet de mieux comprendre Amoris Laetitia qui devient alors une introduction de la psychologie positive appliquée en pastoral counseling. |
