Christian Meditation in Clinical Practice

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Dr. Joshua Knabb provides needed clarity to an important issue in treating psychological symptoms today. He clarifies what Christian meditation is and how it can be used in practical ways to produce psychological and spiritual growth. Drawing on his years of experience as a practicing psychologist, researcher, and teacher, he addresses many complex issues with skill and practical advice. He bases his discussion of meditation on his wealth of knowledge of psychological research, Scripture, and the writings of early spiritual fathers and mothers. He is a practicing psychologist and researcher, and he communicates his synthetic understanding in easy-to-understand terms. After building a case for a transdiagnostic understanding of mental disorders and a four-step change model (noticing, shifting, accepting, and action), he provides useful exercises that will help clients deal with common symptoms impacting their cognition, affect, and action.”

Grieving Wholeheartedly

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Dr. Audrey Davidheiser provides a fresh perspective on the topic of grieving losses that will be helpful to a broad audience, especially to those who follow the Christian faith. The book is very practical and offers easy access to those who are grieving and involved in the integration of psychology and Christian faith. Dr. Davidheiser is very transparent in this book and directly addresses her own grief and loss. In this way she models for the reader how to grieve in a helpful manner that brings healing. She also gives several examples from her clinical practice which further strengthens the book and makes it readily applicable to many. By describing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, she breaks new ground in this important and universal experience of grief. Dr. Davidheiser's book is very readable, and she makes complex concepts easy to understand. Her authenticity comes through in a style that will make many want to read more of her work.”

The Integration of Psychology and Christianity

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Hathaway and Yarhouse provide an articulate and cogent presentation supporting the integration of psychology and Christianity. Both are seasoned clinicians, teachers, and administrators with a wealth of knowledge and experience. They provide a comprehensive review of five domains of integration: worldview, theoretical, applied, role, and personal. While highly philosophical in the early worldview and theoretical domains, their discussion becomes much more clinical and personal in the later domains. They offer a compassionate and clear discussion of important issues in integrating psychology and Christianity while holding a high view of Scripture and valuing the science of psychology. One of the novel areas they discuss is role integration, in which they advocate for taking leadership positions and influencing the mental health professions in ways consistent with the historical roots of Christian faith. This book has broad relevance to the field and should be especially helpful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.”
