The Christian Counselor's Manual is a companion and sequel to Dr. Jay Adams' influential Competent to Counsel, which first laid out a vision of "nouthetic" counseling--a strictly biblical approach to behavioral counseling and therapy.

This practical guide takes the approach of nouthetic counseling introduced in the earlier volume and applies it to a wide range of issues, topics, and techniques in counseling, including:

• Who is qualified to be a counselor?
• How can counselees change?
• How does the Holy Spirit work?
• What role does hope play in therapy?
• What is the function of language in a counseling session?
• How do we ask the right questions?
• What often lies behind depression?
• How do we deal with anger?
• What is schizophrenia?

These and hundreds more questions are answered and explained from a biblical perspective in this comprehensive resource.

A full set of indexes, a detailed table of contents, and a full complement of diagrams and forms make this a classic reference book for biblical counseling.
