| Publisher Description: THERE is but one way to describe modern Christian counseling, and that is as confusing. Different schools of thought, beliefs, and approaches to Christian counseling, what it is, and its purposes have caused grave confusion to Christian counselors and the Body of Christ in general about what Christian counseling is and how it can apply to the life of the believer. With many programs skipping over firm foundations and the essential purpose in Christian counseling, it is no wonder that people are uncertain about the pivotal role a Christian counselor plays within Christianity today. Cutting through the hype, biases, bigotry, and unscientific approach to modern Christian counseling, today's Christian counselor is in need of practical and purposed foundations to practice God's gift and art manifest in Christian counseling. In The Fundamentals Of Christian Counseling In Theory And Practice, Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino establishes a firm foundation for any Christian counselor to build upon. Covering the history of psychotherapy, types and shadows for Christian counselors, technique, atmosphere, the role of healing and grace in counseling, and handling such challenging issues as mental illness, spiritual warfare, and beyond, Dr. Marino prepares the Christian counselor for any and all possible means of Christian counseling, whether done in ministry, in a Christian clinical setting, private practice, or as part of a leadership call. |
