Some of the older establishment and ministers pass down churches like Catholic, Lutheran and Angelican denomination may have the respective experience in handling and tackling this demonic and satanic matters.

    From personal experiences I have had a counselor who could not separate the church from the counseling. She would bring in religious aspects the few times I went to her, and it was not something I brought up myself. Yes, I chose to go to such a place, however I did not know that religion was going to be the main theme of the sessions with this particular counselor. That experience has colored my view of counseling in religious aspects in such a way that I struggle with believing that counselors can keep their personal values of religion out of the session. Dwight could also struggle with the clients who come from outside of the congregation in keeping his personal values out of the session.…

    A Delusion of Satan: The Full Story of the Salem Witch Trials is, according to its preface, an investigation of ‘the demons in all human societies and all human souls” (Hill xvii). Initially I very much enjoyed the book, but it eventually grew dull as it seemed to go back and forth in time and in ‘points of view,’ as in who the author is referring to and when. When this book is good, it’s really good, but when it’s dull, it’s very, very dull. The book relays the “true story” of the Salem Witch Trials.…

    The two chapters for this week’s readings explored two of the five major views on the integration of Christianity and psychology. The Levels-of-Explanation approach is presented by Thomas G. Plante, and the Integration approach is explained by Mark R. McMinn. It seems that the two authors have quite distinct approaches when it comes to reconciling the relationship between psychology and theology in clinical practice. Plante (2012) appears to see theology as a supportive supplement to psychology. In that sense, he appears to prioritize psychology over theology when it comes to his clinical work, evident in his frequent reference to the importance evidenced-based practice interventions.…

    I don’t talk about this anymore, because many people get freaked about it. In fact, I leave it out of my testimony, but maybe I should include it.

I was working for some big name Christian leaders who sent me to train IT developers in San Diego. I was exhausted when I arrived so I went straight to my hotel room.…

    According to Jerome Kroll, Bernard Bachrach, and Kathleen Carey in their article, A Reappraisal of Medieval Mysticism and Hysteria, affective mysticism is, “ the overwhelming expression of love in its carnal as well as spiritual form as the soul approaches union with God” (Kroll, Bachrach and Carey 84 and 85). Such piety, where the body underwent physical and emotional suffering in order to reenact the Passion of Christ, became a well known type of worship during the middle ages. The mystics who experienced such suffering, each adhered to a set of daily tasks, which made them suitable to enter the reign of God. These daily tasks, especially of Saint Perpetua and Marie d’Oignes, could be considered performances in their respective time periods…

    For thousands of years, care of the inner self was primarily the domain of religion. The advent of modern psychology in the late 1800s put this care in new hands; today, approaches to integrating the worlds of Christianity and psychology span a broad range (Entwhistle, 2010). Some individuals or factions in each field of expertise view the other with contempt, viewing spiritual doctrine and psychological research/practice as incompatible. Others pick and choose aspects to sprinkle into their own field, such as psychologists who see therapeutic merit in prayer & meditation apart from the beliefs that ground them, or Christian counselors who develop or borrow therapeutic methods based on similarity to Christian disciplines without attention to empirical methodology…

    Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is one of the best iterations of Batman since the concept of Batman was first created in 1939; the film offers easy to digest bites of philosophy and a deeper look into human nature. At the same time, The Dark Knight provides insight into society's views on mental illness, what society believes mental illness looks like, and society's views toward the justice system. The Dark Knight is the highest grossing Batman film since the first Batman movie (ironically named Batman: The Movie) in 1966, and was even awarded "Movie of the Year" by AFI Awards. Despite the film's success and acclaim, what does The Dark Knight say about society's views on mental illness and our justice system?…

    For many decades, psychology and Christianity have been viewed as two fields that are mutually exclusive. Through the perpetual changes that both have gone through from pre-modernity, modernity, and post-modern thinking, researchers and theologians are working to find an appropriate and functional synthesis to bring the two together. Integration can be very difficult because psychology and Christianity have different worldviews. The goal of psychology is to fully understand the human mind, whereas Scripture teaches that humans cannot fully understand themselves. Psychology as a science has been said to have a dehumanizing effect as it encourages people to be normal and well-adjusted.…
