Description
Christian Psychotherapy in Context combines theology with the latest research in clinical psychology to equip mental health practitioners to meet the unique psychological and spiritual needs of Christian clients.
"Christian Psychotherapy in Context equips mental health practitioners to meet the psychological and spiritual needs of Christian clients. This truly collaborative work draws on a theologically conservative Christian worldview to conceptualize how to understand and help Christians who struggle psychologically. Rather than champion one evidence-based practice in psychology, it draws on evidence-based common factors, Scripture, and classic and modern theologies to help struggling Christians. This is a great resource."—Everett L. Worthington, Jr., PhD, Commonwealth Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University and co-editor of the Handbook of Humility
"I am grateful for this incredibly insightful scholarly and clinical resource. This book offers an important bridge between theology and clinical best practices while respecting the foundational importance of both. It will help practitioners address the very real, significant spiritual needs their Christian clients are facing with care that is informed by both Scripture and evidence without sacrificing either."—Jamie D. Aten, PhD, founder and executive of the Humanitarian Disaster Institute and Blanchard Chair of Humanitarian & Disaster Leadership at Wheaton College
