Current
Interests and Research:
Dr. Bingaman is committed to helping students contextualize the practice of pastoral counseling in today’s rapidly changing world. His current research is on the application of a cognitive-theological form of therapy to the “new anxiety”, which stems in part form living in a post-9/11 world but even more from the impact of what Marc Augé would call supermodernity. Dr. Bingaman also works to help students build from a psychodynamic base to include other modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, and multicultural counseling. He is particularly interested in the postmodern life cycle, and the implications for child, adolescent, and adult development.
