Author Information

Jean Burton worked initially as PA to a City director, a diplomat and the Editor of the Sunday Times.  Counselling clergy and their families was then part of her work as a diocesan social worker.  After training as a systemic family therapist, she joined the NHS in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health team. Her private practice has specialised in issues of work/family stress and an employee assistance programme.  Twenty years as a member of the bishop's committee for the care of clergy families in two dioceses, and her work consultancy with clergy highlighted the hidden stresses faced by all family members. Chris Burton was commissioned into the Black Watch and was a Chartered Accountant in the City before being ordained. He served in diverse parishes in Southwark, York and Birmingham before becoming Team Rector of a large ecumenical parish in Harlow.
