A born-again psychologist once said, Psychotherapy is one of the most hellish and devastating practices that mankind has contrived. Psychotherapy makes the patient dependent upon the psychotherapist, and I have found psychotherapists to be, for the most part, unspiritual, anti-God, egotistical, and wrong. Many psychotherapists suffer from the same, or word, life and personality problems as the persons they pretend to help. Man would rather depend on man than consecrate his life to God and start obeying His word. Self-denial has always been hard for man.
Man likes to be lifted up.
He wants to be the one to help. The fourth reason mankind has so readily embraced psychology, is the fact that we want to help ourselves. There is something in man that compels him to try to accomplish everything by himself. We want to save ourselves, or at least have a hand in it. So we go and add what is lacking, since the Bible and the cross are not sufficient.
