The Christian counselor's manual : the practice of nouthetic counseling / Jay E. Adams. [Place of publication not identified] : Zondervan, 2010. xiii, 476 pages. 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.
