Dwamena Dwamena-Aboagye

Ministering to the Hurting Dwamena Dwamena-Aboagye

In this fascinating book, Dr. Angela Dwamena-Aboagye takes us on a pilgrimage through unchartered paths and examines 'what informs pastoral response to mental health and women's mental health problems.' The study is significant in all respects because the findings reveal the theological presuppositions and cultural biases that underlie the approaches used by pastoral care givers in dealing with issues that affect women's mental health and wellbeing; it makes a contribution to the nexus between science and the Christian faith and recommends ways by which policy makers, stake holders and care givers can cooperate in dealing with mental health issues. The book is a treasure trove, the reason why it must be read.
