Course Description

This course reviews biblical integration perspectives with specific application to a human services counseling setting. The course explores a Christian worldview, with practical discussion of both a client and therapist’s spirituality and how one’s worldview and personal spirituality affect the counseling process. Students consider how secular counseling theories and techniques and biblical teaching on sin, confession, and redemption merge in applications to the types of counseling issues typically seen in community agencies and other practice settings for human services counselors.

For information regarding prerequisites for this course, please refer to the Academic Course Catalog.

Rationale

Integration of psychology, theology, and spirituality provides the student with an overview of integration models as a theoretical and practical foundation for faith-based counseling. In order to practice Christian counseling, professional counselors must be able to articulate a Christian worldview and understand the way in which their worldview informs counseling theory and practice.
