Can you trust psychology?

Can you trust psychology?

By Gary R. Collins

Book Description

In a world where faith and psychology often seem at odds, countless believers find themselves caught in the crossfire of a heated debate. Should Christians embrace psychological counseling, or does it pose a threat to spiritual well-being? When prominent religious voices warn against the dangers of psychology, how do you navigate the confusion?

Gary R. Collins addresses these pressing concerns with clarity and wisdom, offering guidance for those wrestling with fundamental questions about mental health and faith. Rather than adding to the noise of extreme positions, he provides a measured perspective that acknowledges both the legitimate concerns and potential benefits surrounding psychological practice.

This thoughtful exploration tackles the real dilemmas facing Christians today. Whether you're currently in counseling and wondering if you should continue, questioning whether to seek help from a non-Christian therapist, or trying to determine if your pastor should handle counseling needs within the church, Collins offers practical direction.

Written in accessible language, this book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the relationship between psychology and Christian faith. Collins brings his expertise to bear on a complex topic, helping readers move beyond confusion toward informed decision-making about their emotional and spiritual well-being.

For those questioning psychology's place in the Christian life, this work provides the reasoned voice needed to navigate these important choices.
