position on these important issues. Are
Psychotherapies Coherent Science? What
Makes Counseling "Biblical"? Medicine
& Counseling: The Interface Hopefully I'll be able to synthesize these articles into one article soon. We agree that neurology, physiological psychology, comparative psychology (animal behavior / ethology), and limited dimensions of educational psychology (phonics validation, some testing, training of Autistic or Down's Syndrome children, etc.) are valid disciplines, which have collected some useful observations. When such observations do not conflict with biblical principles, they can potentially enhance the application of biblical, relational truths. This, by the way, was an important fact that saved my life a few times, back when I was a zookeeper, training carnivores (lions, tigers, & bears). In contrast, however, there are hundreds of changing "psychotherapeutic" philosophies and practices, claiming to offer "scientific" facts for Solving People-Problems. Yet they involve non-material variables, such as mind, will, and emotions, which are beyond the reach of coherent, experimental science. Remember, Jesus claimed that Holy Scripture contains sufficient counsel for developing mature psychological character and intimate relationships. That is the realm of biblical counseling. Sadly, few Christians, and not nearly enough pastors, seem to know or apply God's sufficient, biblical counsel for the progressive sanctification of the soul (Greek = psyche). |
