Why has the church struggled in ministering to those with mental illnesses? As both a church leader and a professor of psychology and behavioral sciences, Matthew S. Stanford has written this thoroughly revised and updated resource to educate Christians about mental illness from both biblical and scientific perspectives.
Finding Hope in the Midst of Child and Adolescent Mental Illness
Addressing the church's often misguided approach to child and adolescent mental health, this book provides a blend of scientific insights and biblical wisdom. Matthew Stanford aims to equip Christians with practical advice and pastoral care for navigating common mental health disorders, using DSM-5 diagnoses as a foundation. By fostering understanding and compassion, the work seeks to dispel fear and misinformation, ultimately supporting families in need of guidance through complex emotional and psychological challenges.
