DESCRIPTION ON THEORIES

Positive Deconstruction theory deconstructs or assembles what the subjects believe and then take that belief and analyse it. The process of positive deconstruction involves four elements; (1) identifying the underlying worldview, (2) analysing it, (3) affirming the elements of truth which it containsand (4) discovering its shortcomings (Pollard 1997:44). Pollard posits that “if we genine love is, helping people discover the inadequacies of their worldview, but we shall also want to assist them in other ways too” (1997:46).
The Charles Gerkin theory of “Shepherding” includes counselling/therapy. The shepherding model is one of the four Biblical models; the other three are priestly, prophets and wisdom, for pastoral care used by Gerkin. This theory was first appropriated within the religious life of Israel as a metaphor with which to speak of the care of Yahweh for Yahweh‟s people. This motif is depicted as the good shepherd in the imagery of Psalm 23, here the Lord God – the good shepherd leads the people in paths of righteousness; restore the souls of the people, and walks with the people among their enemies and even into the valley of the shadow of death (1997:27).
These theories will be highly informed by the results of the interviews and will assist in developing a counselling/therapeutic model that will be of assistance to the clergy who abuse alcohol.
