Gaudeamus

Glenn Asquith, professor of pastoral theology, presented a workshop at the annual conference of the Society for Pastoral Theology in Chicago in June 2001.

It dealt with the continuing relevance of the pastoral counseling philosophy of Anton Boisen, the first ordained minister to serve as chaplain at a psychiatric hospital and the founder, in 1925, of the discipline of clinical pastoral education.

On November 4, Asquith gave a presentation on Boisen’s work at the Atlantic regional meeting of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors in Martinsburg, W.Va. He also gave a seminar on “The Lebenslauf [personal record] as Narrative Method in Pastoral Care and Spiritual Direction” at the 2001 Pennsylvania State Pastors’ Conference, November 13 in Camp Hill.

Dana S. Dunn, associate professor of psychology, has been named to a two-year term as consulting editor for the journal Teaching of Psychology, for which he has reviewed articles for several years.
