Abstract

In this issue of Reflective Practice, we continue this focus on chaplaincy education. However, in this issue we change the subject slightly from previous issues that have focused on the concrete details of chaplaincy education programs. In his essay “Transference and Countertransference in Pastoral Care, Counseling, and Supervision,” David M. Franzen focuses on the content of clinical training. He argues that chaplains need more training in the dynamics of transference and countertransference and that the current lack of full training in this area is limiting the effectiveness of professional chaplains. Franzen has traversed the worlds of both chaplaincy and pastoral counseling. He is a Diplomate with the American Association of Pastoral Counselors and a retired ACPE Supervisor (Educator). He is uniquely positioned to speak to this issue, and his essay is thorough, comprehensive, and compelling.
