The Christian Counselor's Manual: The Practice of Nouthetic Counseling

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.

Accompanying charts, appendixes, and reference material are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
