Summary:"Those who are afflicted as well as those who are adversely affected by mental illness often live lives of 'quiet desperation' without recourse to appropriate assistance.

In Ministry with Persons with Mental Illness and Their Families, psychiatrists and pastoral theologians come together in an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort to ensure accuracy of information concerning the medical dimensions of mental illness, interpret these illnesses from a faith perspective, and make suggestions relative to effective ministry.
