Christ-Centered Therapy

by Neil T. Anderson, Terry E. Zuehlke, Julie Zuehlke

Depending on whom you ask, the term Christian counseling can mean anything from secular psychology practiced by a Christian to biblical counseling that completely shuns psychological insights. Christ-Centered Therapy thoroughly integrates psychology and practical theology. A book written by experts from both fields, it utilizes the contributions of science in an uncompromisingly biblical framework. Here at last is a powerful resource to help you―pastor, counselor, or spiritual advisor―understand the complex problems of people and address them with the wisdom of God’s Word and the power of his Spirit.Insightful and practical, Christ-Centered Therapy unites the wisdom and expertise of pastoral theologian and best-selling author Dr. Neil Anderson and professional Christian counselors Dr. Terry and Julianne Zuehlke. The first part of the book equips you with an understanding of the different issues involved in integrating theology and psychology. The second part helps you turn theory into practical application. You’ll also find appendixes that offer personal testimonies, provide professional forms, discuss the role of psychiatry in managed care, and present the Steps to Freedom in Christ.

Reviews

[Austin Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

Incredibly helpful in navigating the many opinions regarding Biblical counseling and integration. I do not agree with every conclusion, but the intent is genuine and the content is a must-have for the biblical counselor.

[Karla Renee Goforth Abreu]

This is a handbook for the professional therapist who is a Christian, not necessarily a "Christian Therapist". It is well written and arranged in an orderly fashion. THe material covers a wide range of the most prevalent mental health problems.
