Psychology and Christianity: Five Views
Doctrinal basis. Multi-author; each view is argued by its own proponent.
Points to weigh
- The book is mainly about how to view psychology as a discipline, not step-by-step counseling.
- The publisher’s page could not be read; details are from retailer and review pages.
- 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’.

About
