Description

The Christian Counselor's Manual is a companion and sequel to Dr. Jay Adams' influential Competent to Counsel, which first laid out a vision of "nouthetic" counseling—a strictly biblical approach to behavioral counseling and therapy.

This practical guide takes the approach of nouthetic counseling introduced in the earlier volume and applies it to a wide range of issues, topics, and techniques in counseling, including:

  • Who is qualified to be a counselor?
  • How can counselees change?
  • How does the Holy Spirit work?
  • What role does hope play in therapy?
  • What is the function of language in a counseling session?
  • How do we ask the right questions?
  • What often lies behind depression?
  • How do we deal with anger?
  • What is schizophrenia?

These and hundreds more questions are answered and explained from a biblical perspective in this comprehensive resource for the Christian counselor.

A full set of indexes, a detailed table of contents, and a full complement of diagrams and forms make this an outstanding reference book for and Christian counselor.
