The Christian Counselor's Manual: The Practice of Nouthetic Counseling - Jay E. Adams

\nThe 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.\n \nThis 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: \n \n- Who is qualified to be a counselor? \n- How can counselees change? \n- How does the Holy Spirit work? \n- What role does hope play in therapy? \n- What is the function of language in a counseling session? \n- How do we ask the right questions? \n- What often lies behind depression? \n- How do we deal with anger? \n- What is schizophrenia? \nThese and hundreds more questions are answered and explained from a biblical perspective in this comprehensive resource.\n \nA full set of indexes, a detailed table of contents, and a full complement of diagrams and forms make this a classic reference book for biblical counseling.\n
