Clergy dissatisfaction: denominational hierarchy as a salient factor

The author contends that there is a perceived lack of support from denominational hierarchy, and that the impact of this lack on clergy has been overlooked in the literature. The factor is important because it will underpin the success of any strategies attempted to address the cited stressors. As well, no treatment strategy for those who struggle with these issues has been defined which seems to ignore that this unique population requires unique considerations.
