COUN630 Lecture 3

COUN630 Lecture 7

Case-based applications demonstrating integrative interventions (e.g., REACH model for forgiveness, marital recovery protocols, assessment and treatment of spiritual abuse), with resource recommendations and phased treatment examples that combine empirical methods and Christian resources.

COUN630 Lecture 6

Considers personal and professional integration by prompting clinicians to assess their own faith narratives, attachment to God, and spiritual practices; it argues that self-awareness and spiritual resilience are necessary instruments for ethical, sustainable ministry in clinical contexts.

COUN630 Lecture 5

Explores how key Christian doctrines (e.g., Trinity, imago Dei, grace) translate into clinical assessment and intervention—emphasizing relationality, unconditional regard, and treatment goals that cultivate support systems, realistic self-view, and the extension of grace within therapy.

COUN630 Lecture 4

An analysis of Scripture as a formative resource for counseling that clarifies its sufficiency for theological grounding (not as a technical treatment manual), and describes how biblical narratives, lament, and hope inform pastoral-clinical responses to suffering and grief.

COUN630 Lecture 3

A theoretical module linking doctrines of human nature and sin with clinical models, inviting critical evaluation of psychotherapeutic theories through a Christian worldview and outlining how to modify or exclude practices (e.g., ancestor invocation) that conflict with core Christian commitments.
