Beskrivelse
A Christian Guide to Psychology and Counseling illuminates the many ways in which key tenets and concepts in psychology can support and even enrich the Christian faith. The book underscores the similarities between psychology and Christian texts and principles-namely that both present stories and ideas that help to explain human nature and help us confront emotional issues. It emphasizes that an understanding of psychology can enhance one's appreciation for the Gospel, and profound Christian faith can deepen one's appreciation for the psychology found in scripture.
The book explores the workings of the human brain, the dynamics of human development, the processes of attraction and attachment, the diverse challenges of living, and how counseling is able to help people heal and grow. Readers learn about Christian counseling practices, denial and the mechanisms of escape, the problems of evil, fear, and inflated pride in the world, and the psychology of couple relationships. The book also addresses the nature and value of worship and the problems associated with misplaced worship.
A concise yet enlightening and deeply heartfelt book, A Christian Guide to Psychology and Counseling is an invaluable resource for courses and programs in religion and theology. It is also an exceptional resource for practicing Christian clergymen and clergywomen.
