Abstract
The growing academic and institutional interest in pastoral care and counseling raises attention day by day.
However there is no institutionally established concept and practice of pastoral care in Turkey’s prevalent Islamic
tradition. Therefore there is a lack of theoretical foundation for this service that wants to be developed
and established in Turkey. In fact pastoral care services are quite well developed in Christian tradition. Especially
in Germany pastoral care and counseling has a deep-rooted history and professional practice. Thus
in this paper in order to give an insight into theoretical foundations of German pastoral care and counseling
the concept is illustrated in terms of definition, characteristics, subjects, objects, aims, tasks and theology
