There were many calling themselves Christian psychologists, but there was nothing Christian about what they did. But today it's a totally different picture. Over the past 15 years Christians have begun to take psychology back. You've got more marriage and family counselors coming out of Christian colleges than you do from secular colleges. They have a biblical spiritual foundation, which is only right because real psychology is biblical.
Psychology means the study of the soul.
And while there are ideas within the broader practice that are false, those don't negate the things that are true. The goal is not to help people get into themselves, but out of themselves, and to move beyond their problems so they can go on the heal others. One of my great experiences was with a pastor who asked to meet with me. And I sure preached against anybody taking medication. Then I ended up with a depression so debilitating I could not get out of bed.
