This work is a scholarly guide to counselling and psychotherapy. It describes the rise of the secular psychologies, with their roots in Freud, branching out into psychoanalysis, behaviourism, humanistic and existential psychology, and the "new therapies".
This guide demonstrates how to use the Bible for counselling purposes, with each chapter offering case studies to illustrate points raised, questions for discussion and suggestions for personal reflection. The book is designed as a resource for those involved in pastoral and counselling work.
