Overview

Dr. Mathews: Through the training program in Clinical Pastoral Education here in the hospital, the authors have had at least one Medical-Religious Case Conference a week for last eight or nine years. Usually only a few students, along with those in helping professions who are closely associated with patients, are present. In the presentation below, Dr. Dayringer explains the case of one of his current counselees. Dr. Dayringer: The counselee, whom people will call Pam. Pam, is a pseudonym for this counselee whose identity is carefully disguised. Her religious denomination is Baptist. She had most of the clinical symptoms of depression and described her symptoms in religious concepts. Her responses to the Minnesota Multiphase Personality Inventory confirmed him clinical impression. He saw her 16 times individually and then transferred her to my counseling group. Pam has attended three of six group sessions. She was feeling well enough that appointments fourteen through sixteen were two to three weeks apart.
