University of Pretoria (South Africa), Department of Practical Theology 

The department of practical theology, under the leadership of Prof Julian Müller, offers three post-graduate courses to students interested in pastoral family therapy. The Masters program in narrative pastoral therapy aims at acquainting the student with relevant literature in the field, while providing ample opportunity for experiential learning from the volunteer work in community service in which each student is involved and regular group discussions. With the completion of a dissertation in mind, students are introduced to a research methodology that is congruent with the narrative perspective. 

At doctoral level a Ph.D or D.D (Doctor Divinitatis) can be obtained. While the former involves the submission of a thesis, the latter comprises of the submission of a thesis as well as oral examinations in different theological subjects. Great emphasis is placed on research methodology and this matter is discussed extensively during group meetings. A postfoundationalist practical theology, which is the preferred approach to research, includes social constructionist and narrative ideas. It encourages the devolopment of knowledge that is locally contextual and socially constructed, acknowledges the role of tradition in the forming of knowledge, seeks interdisciplinary dialogoue and facilitates a new story or an alternative interpretation that points beyond the local!
