Experts in both the mental and medical health professions have
endeavored to formulate comprehensible explanation for the
remarkable recoveries made by people under their care. As we
struggle with the seemingly endless battle with mental disorders,
and increasingly resistant strains of viruses, many professionals
are looking to alternative methodologies. It is no secret that the
battle is complex and staged with many players, most of whom have
questionable motives. Attitudes and opinions run deep and the level
of pride from one school of thought to another can be outright
childish. Regulation of how treatment should be provided is another
area that seriously lacks direction. Politicians are transitory in
their positions, and most of them direct both resources and
influence toward the largest pool of voters, and/or the most
significant interest group. This is not an indictment against their
integrity, but a candid observation of their predicament.
Alternative medicine and psychological therapies have expanded
until now they are becoming just as popular as traditional
treatments. In the midst of all of these dynamics we find routine
accounts of divine healing, and deliverance from mental
afflictions. This book focuses on the comparisons between secular
medicine, including mental health therapies, divine healing, and
most importantly, Christian counseling. Considerable attention has
been dedicated to historical development, clinical results, and the
attributes of the different approaches currently being used. The
primary objective of this work is to pry into the sensitive area of
the valued principles and practices of secular psychology and
traditional medicine, to improve the generalunderstanding of these
areas within the Christian community. This book aims to expose the
link between Christian faith and improved mental and physical
health. It will reveal serious weaknesses among Christians' and
Church Leaders concerning mental health counseling. It will also
bring to light the lack of clarity and direction in America's
mental health care system, and the dangers of hybrid Christian
counseling models used by the Church. The last objective is to
present Scriptural based solutions that can be used in a
professional and practical way. (Dr. Drake Perry 2006)
