This study investigates ways in which pastors are trained as pastoral counselors using two case study methods: the conventional, medical-model method which employs analysis, diagnosis, and treatment goals; and the Ashbrook-Karl method which employs religious resources and active personal reflections around the case leading to theological reflection, theoretical analysis, and then strategical moves. Five hypotheses tested the essential factors that make up quality pastoral counseling: 1) self-reflection; 2) psychological issues and theory; 3) biblical stories and tradition; 4) theological integration; and 5) the ability to formulate a treatment plan. At the end of the training course trainees wrote a detailed case analysis based on a scenario presented via video tape. These analyses were used to test the hypothesis. The author found that the Ashbrook-Karl method helped early pastoral counselors develop their self-reflective abilities which increase their self-confidence and ability to learn and itegrate psychological issue and theory. With more seasoned counselors the method helped them get in touch with what is pastoral.
