Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS)
Doctrinal basis. The page reviewed states no creed; members are described as united in commitment to Christ and to professional excellence.
Points to weigh
- Interdenominational, not confessionally Reformed.
- Christians disagree about how far counseling should draw on clinical psychology. Biblical counselors (for example CCEF and ACBC) and Christian clinicians (for example CAPS and AACC members) take different positions; see ‘Psychology and Christianity: Five Views’.
- Neither this list nor any book replaces a licensed clinician or doctor. If you or someone you know is in crisis or danger, call your local emergency number or, in the U.S., call or text 988.
