In fact, Maslow's heirarchy of needs still enjoys considerable popularity, espec- ially among government institutions and the military. This allows Williams to dodge such questions. What is considered wisdom today, like yesterdays ideas, will 'disappoint' us tomorrow. Once again we see that Williams seems to be accusing psycho- logists of being scientists. No evidence of this is provided.
Psychology is a study and the results of that study are simply tools used to help our fellow man.
Furthermore, Christian psychologists do use prayer and Bible reading as part of the therapeutic process. Williams' argument, therefore, is invalid. They have prostituted themselves to the world's ideas. They have been taken captive and are taking others captive. For psychology is based upon the world, not Jesus Christ.
