Abstract: | Caring for self and getting needs appropriately met can be challenging for some pastors. Depletion and vulnerability to misconduct may happen progressively over time. Role identity theory is used as a lens to understand how some pastors develop an identity that makes it difficult to identify personal problems and ask for help. This article uses a case study to illustrate how role identity theory explains these phenomena. |
