Reviews

[Kirk Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

The authors claim to present a (not "the") Christian approach to psychotherapy. They are theologically sensitive. I appreciate this. However, it is less clear to me how their approach is DISTINCTIVELY Christian and not simply SENSITIVE to Christian truth-claims.

An essential guide

Having been trained in a secular program, this book offered a clear framework on how to integrate my Christian faith into my clinical work in a manner that honors God and the person simultaneously. Well done.

For students of psychotherapy and Christianity, this book explores how the two can be integrated in practice. It asks many questions about how the two can best be partnered together and gives theories that can be actioned in the therapy room.
