This book by Collins is incredibly dated having been written in 1986. As such, very little covered in this book could be considered 'innovative' as most of it has been in practice for many decades now.
He writes, "I have tried to produce a book that is a fresh new approach to people-helping". Even for 1986, there's nothing fresh here. In fact, one hardly gets the impression that Collins is practicing as a *Christian* psychologist. Except for three very small paragraphs on page 176, Collins doesn't even allude to the role of evangelism or regeneration in the work of counseling.
If you're looking for a distinctively God-centered and therefore Christian approach, this just isn't it.
