Competent to Counsel

A classic in the field of Christian Counseling Dr. Adams laid the basis for the reimergence of biblical counseling (nouthetic counseling). He sets the case for using biblical principles verses psycho analysis in counseling Christians. Using biblical directed discussion, nouthetic counseling works by means of the Holy Spirit to bring about change in the personality and behavior of the counselee. "There have been dramatic results... Not only have people's immediate problems been resolved, but there have also been solutions to all sorts of long-term problems as well."
