Awareness and animation will be enhanced in the course of pastoral care if prophetic motifs in imagery are explored using Gestalt therapy. The author's findings and conclusions are based primarily upon a review of literature using hand and computer research methods, as well as case material drawn from his personal experience in parish, agency, and private practice settings. The project concludes that Gestalt therapy is an appropriate mode of therapy in pastoral care. Both the Gestalt therapist and the Old Testament prophet employ imagery in similar fashion. Each perceives the universe, physical and mental, to be a single reality. While their theological conclusions are distinct, the goal of each is to restore harmony and balance to that which has been interrupted or disrupted. This is accomplished by bringing to awareness (a critique of) what actually exists in the present, and by developing animation (aliveness) to produce change in attitude, emotion and/or behavior.
