PCC 555 Perspectives on the Human Person

3 Credits

This course will introduce students to an inter-faith and inter-disciplinary process of examining and engaging human beings and the human condition. Students will begin to develop an integrated understanding of human beings from theological, social, cultural, and psychological contexts. Students will also explore the following questions: 1) “What does it mean to be human?” 2) “How do people change?” 3) “How do people grow?” 4) “How do people heal?” and 5) “How do pastoral counselors facilitate these processes?” Students will also cultivate specific counseling practices that holistically assess and engage the human condition.
