Psychological Perspective Analysis

Improved Essays
Using the theological perspective with the psychological perspective helps makes the sessions more valuable and successful. When the counselor is using theology it is important for the counselor to have a strong foundation and knowledge of the Bible, history from a Christian perspective, and theological systems (McMinn, 2011). Next is the spiritual perspective that helps individuals to understand God’s grace when we are constantly falling but with his grace we can learn from the different situations to gain wisdom from our God (McMinn, 2011).
With the three foundations being used it is important that the counselor is able to address them in the different area such as prayer, scripture, sin, confession, forgiveness, and redemption. Prayer

    In my future counseling ministry endeavors, I believe Entwistle’s (2010) text will serve as a useful source for developing a treatment plan for clients. As a result of this book, I am persuaded that integrating both psychology and theology will give me a more holistic approach when treating clients. Before reading this book I would have leaned towards more of an all biblical point of view, but now I am open to the possibilities of incorporating the two disciplines.…

    This advice has a significant impact on Christian counselors in the sense that the integration process is seemingly not difficult, however, it can cause complications. Earlier in the interview Dr. Parker mentioned the diversity of Regent University students with their expression of their faith. Albeit Catholicism, Presbyterian, Evangelical, and so on. This is similar to the clients that will cross paths with the counselor. The Christian counselor needs to be aware and respect other people’s religious beliefs and listen carefully to the hinting that the client will express.…

    Understanding the roles that biological issues play in counseling gives counselors the ability to better counsel those whom God has entrusted to their care. There are two main areas where this grave importance comes to light in terms of philosophy and methodology: when dealing with a counselee who has a heart issue that has been labeled as a disease, and when a counselee currently takes psychoactive medications. Both of these situations contain multifaceted areas of consideration and should be taken seriously by biblical counselors. Viewing first the situation of mislabeled diagnostic terms, counselors need to know if their counselees have been given, or sees themselves as having a “disease.” If their counselees are giving up hope in trying…

    Reflecting on the week’s readings and considering the topic of Theoretical Perspectives on Teaching – Democratic/Political Perspectives, I am drawn to organize the perspectives of the early philosophers based on the desired outcome or goal and the methods used to reach the desired goal. If the educational goal or desired outcome is to simply continue existing, which may imply growing from immature to mature (Dewey, 1916), progressing from savage to civilized (Fallace, 2012), or from ignorant to knowledgeable (Freire, 1993), a simple linear historic approach to education may suffice. Within this approach, one in which a society would progress along a single continuum to ensure its continued existence, methods of informal education may be utilized.…

    “The Blind Side” is a film depiction of the life of NFL left tackle, Michael Oher and his miraculous transition from being a homeless teen to becoming an NFL first round draft. The film follows the development of Michael as he is taken off the street by the Tuohy’s and with their support became involved with football. I chose this film because it portrays the social and behavioural development of a teen without a stable upbringing and how it affects his relationship and encounters with others. The movie does not only show the development aspect of one stage of adolescence but follows Michael’s character from childhood to his adult years. As well, the movie forms basis of comparison between Michael and the Tuohy children.…
