In the area of pastoral care and theology, Carrie Doehring currently is articulating a contextual theologically-based approach to pastoral care that draws upon postmodern approaches to knowledge (The Practice of Pastoral Care: A Postmodern Approach. Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox, 2006). As a feminist pastoral theologian, she focuses on sexual and domestic violence and clergy sexual misconduct (Taking Care: Monitoring Power Dynamics and Relational Boundaries in Pastoral Care and Counseling. Nashville, TN: Abingdon, 1995). A feature of her work is the use of films and novels as case studies.

Dr. Doehring is ordained in the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., a Diplomat in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors and a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and Colorado.

Carrie is married to George Magnuson, an assisting priest at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Denver. She has two adult sons, Jordan and Alex. For relaxation, she enjoys films and novels, and listening to classical choral music.
