21	The subversion of patriarchy: exploring pastoral care with men in the Church of the Province of South Africa on the East Rand Bannerman, David Hugh 30 November 2007 (has links) This dissertation is concerned with pastoral care with men in the Anglican Church. It is grounded in the rapidly changing post-apartheid years in the East Rand region of South Africa. It seeks to explore through participatory action research the negative effects of patriarchy as a discourse of power and entitlement on the lives of men of differing cultures in South Africa as victims and perpetrators of abuse. It also seeks to explore ways of pastorally caring with men through the creation of participative care groups that enable personal stories of men to be told, invitations to responsibility for abuse made, and the negative effects of patriarchal cultural and theological discourse deconstructed, and alternate understandings of masculinity constructed and performed. The work is done from a contextual theology, pro-feminist perspective, and collaborating with postmodern philosophers Derrida and Foucault, the social anthropologist Bruner and the narrative therapists White, Epston and Jenkins. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.

The DWCP was conducted in the school setting, with ten volunteer Grade 7 learners over a ten-week period for an hour a week. The learners' parents participated in an initial needs assessment and in a feedback session at the end of DWCP, together with the life skills teacher and headmaster who observed and contributed to the process. An independent observer, present at each session, served to increase the dependability and confirmability of the evaluation findings. The DWCP appeared to have achieved its goals as defined by the participants. The evaluation findings are presented as a guide for people working in the field of adolescent substance abuse that synthesises best practice and lessons learnt in the field. / Psychology / M.A.(Clinical Psychology) South African context programme facilitation skills lessons learnt resilience best practice adolescent drug abuse adolescent substance abuse Ecosystemic approach Intervention prevention programme evaluation school-based 362.290835 Family psychotherapy -- South Africa Drug abuse counseling -- South Afric Drug abuse -- South Africa -- Prevention Youth -- Psychology Adolescent psychotherapy -- South Africa
