The present study described, analyzed, and evaluated what pastoral counselors reported on satisfaction in vocational choice and stress in therapeutic practice. Results were compared with satisfactions and stresses reported by generalized ministers and secular psychotherapists. A stratified random sampling of 200 pastoral counselors was mailed questionnaires divided into backgrouind information and three rating scales on satisfaction and stress. Results showed pastoral counselors significantly more satisfied in their counseling ministry and personal life than those in generalized ministry. Job involvement and concept of call held less satisfaction for pastoral counselors than generalized ministers. Therapeutic work was most satisfying when pastoral counselors could learn and grow while being helpful to others. The stress of working with disturbed people, emotional depletion, and organizational politics contributed to making their practice frustrating and discouraging. Personal depletion and pressures inherent in a therapeutic relationship were more stressful for members than diplomats.
