8vo - 21 x 14 cm.; xii - 243 pp. Gray cloth over boards with red lettering on the spine. Translated from the 1963 French edition "L'entretie n pastorale" by Gilbert Barth TOR. From the dust jacket: "Using a non-technical vocabulary, the author shows how a priest, professionally untrained as a psychologist, can counsel the troubled and confused, precisely as a priest. The book is a practical, clear and reliable guide to one of the priest's most valuable but little understood responsibilites". Five page bibliography at the back. The library markings on the book are a library stamp on the front free end paper, a pocket on the back free end paper and tape stains on the paste down end papers. The dust jacket has a faint sticker ghost on the lower spine.
