CAROLINA
INSTITUTE FOR
CLINICAL PASTORAL TRAINING
The
Carolina Institute for Clinical Pastoral Training (CICPT)
provides accredited training in Clinical Pastoral Therapy
leading toward professional certification by the state
of North Carolina and the American Association of Pastoral
Counselors. Sponsored by Methodist
Counseling and Consultation Services and the Presbyterian
Samaritan Counseling Center in Charlotte, this training
program has operated continuously for over thirty years.
CLINICAL
PASTORAL THERAPY OVERVIEW
Clinical pastoral therapy is a specialized ministry
combining perspectives from the behavioral sciences
and practical theology for study of the human dilemma,
and to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the
human soul. CICPT provides intensive introductory and
advanced training leading toward professional certification
for qualified men and women who are committed to the
ministry of pastoral counseling.
The
Clinical Pastoral Therapy Training program consists
of theoretical seminars, readings, individual and group
supervision, interdisciplinary case conferences, and
integrative formation. Each participant develops a small
clinical practice under supervision. Training sessions
occupy approximately one day per week for a period of
two years, commencing in September.
CICPT
meets requirements as an Accredited Training Program
of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.
Work completed in this program is recognized for professional
certification by both AAPC and by the North Carolina
Board of Fee-Based Practicing Pastoral Counselors.
In
addition, CICPT is accredited as adjunct training site
for the Doctor of Ministry program at Garrett-Evangelical
Theological Seminary. Course credit is awarded toward
the D.Min. degree at Garrett-Evangelical for persons
admitted to the D.Min. program. Clinical Pastoral Therapy
training and D.Min. studies may run concurrently.
Professional
competence in pastoral counseling and psychotherapy
develops progressively through stages of preparation
and maturation. Accordingly, Clinical Pastoral Therapy
Training is offered at foundational, advanced, and supervisory
levels.
