Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling

How do you integrate your spiritual life with your psychological expertise?

This book is part of the professional series that offers Christian counselors the latest techniques, theory, and general information that is vital to their work. While many books have tried to integrate theology and psychology, this book takes another step and explores the importance of the spiritual disciplines in psychotherapy, helping counselors to integrate the biblical principles of forgiveness, redemption, restitution, prayer, and worship into their counseling techniques.

Since its first publication in 1996, this book has quickly become a contemporary classic―a go-to handbook for integrating what we know is true from the disciplines of theology and psychology and how that impacts your daily walk with God. This biblical counseling book will help you:

Integrate spiritual disciplines―such as prayer, Scripture reading, and confession―into your own life and into counseling othersNavigate the tension between your Christian worldview and professional practiceUnderstand how spiritual formation and emotional healing are intertwined
