Are Christian treatments as effective as secular treatments? What
is the evidence to support its success? Christians engaged in the
fields of psychology, psychotherapy and counseling are living in a
unique moment. Over the last couple decades, these fields have
grown more and more open to religious belief and
religion-accommodative therapies. At the same time, Christian
counselors and psychotherapists encounter pressure (for example,
from insurance companies) to demonstrate that their accommodative
therapies are as beneficial as secular therapies. This raises the
need for evidence to support Christian practices and treatments.
The essays gathered in this volume explore evidence-based Christian
treatments, practices, factors and principles. The authors mine the
relevant research and literature to update practicing
psychotherapists, clinical researchers, students, teachers and
educated laypersons about the efficacy of certain
Christian-accommodative therapies. Topics covered in the book
include: devotional meditation cognitive-behavior therapy
psychodynamic and process-experiential therapies couples, marriage
and family therapy group intervention The book concludes with a
review of the evidence for the various treatments discussed in the
chapters, a guide for conducting clinical trials that is essential
reading for current or aspiring researchers, and reflections by the
editors about the future of evidence-based Christian practices. As
the editors say, "more research is necessary." To that end, this
volume is a major contribution to a field of inquiry that, while
still in its infancy, promises to have enormous implications for
future work in Christian counseling and psychotherapy. Christian
Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS) Books explore how
Christianity relates to mental health and behavioral sciences
including psychology, counseling, social work, and marriage and
family therapy in order to equip Christian clinicians to support
the well-being of their clients.
