Theologians and psychologists working within a number of religious traditions explore pastoral care and spiritual healing in the context of indigeneity; survivors of the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami; gender aspects, body, and well being; cultural and religious diversity; and conditions of humanity, social contexts, and rituals. The 17 papers are from the Ninth International Congress of the International Council on Pastoral Care and Counseling, held in Rotorua, New Zealand. They are not indexed.
