- Abstract
- 'Whimsey-crafting' is the ability, in the context of pastoral care-giving, not only to allow for the sudden occasional whimsical thought, but to move toward it purposefully, to shape and reframe whimsical thought in order to reshape, refocus, relabel and reframe reality and to submit it to the client/counselee for evaluation. The thesis comprises chapters which reflect the significance of whimsey; how whimsey is tied to theology; how the metaphorical aspects of language allow for a 'reality bridge' of understanding and implicatiions of 'whimsey-crafting' for pastoral care-giving. The author advocates tying the 'whimsey-crafting' process to general systems thinking.
