May 01, 2025 Helping the Good Shepherd: Pastoral Counselors in a Psychotherapeutic Culture
This academic work, Helping the Good Shepherd: Pastoral Counselors in a Psychotherapeutic Culture, 1925–1975 by Susan E. Myers-Shirk, explores the historical development of pastoral counseling within the context of an evolving psychotherapeutic landscape in the United States. The book examines how liberal Protestant clergy navigated the increasing influence of psychology and science on their traditional roles as spiritual guides. It traces the emergence of clinical pastoral education and the theories and practices that shaped pastoral counseling, including the impact of figures like Anton Boisen and Carl Rogers. Furthermore, the study considers how pastoral counselors addressed issues of morality, gender, and the individual in their counseling approaches, while also analyzing the later rise of evangelical Christian counseling as a distinct movement.

April 27, 2025 Grotesque Figures: Baudelaire, Rousseau, and the Aesthetics of Modernity
This Book, titled "Grotesque Figures: Baudelaire, Rousseau, and the Aesthetics of Modernity" explores the intricate relationship between the grotesque aesthetic, as seen in the works of Charles Baudelaire, and the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The author examines how Baudelaire engaged with and diverged from eighteenth-century notions of the grotesque, allegory, and personification, particularly in the context of modernity. By analyzing Baudelaire's prose poems and critical writings alongside Rousseau's texts and contemporary perspectives on both figures, the study illuminates Baudelaire's unique artistic vision. The book investigates themes of caricature, the role of the artist, and the sociopolitical implications embedded within the grotesque in 19th-century France. Ultimately, it positions Baudelaire's work as a complex negotiation with the artistic and intellectual legacies of the Enlightenment, especially concerning Rousseau.
