A Peaceable Psychology: Christian Therapy in a World of Many Cultures
"A clarion call to embrace God's incarnational reign in this broken world. Professional caregivers of all orientations will be deeply challenged to rethink not only their point of departure but also the process and ultimate vision for their work. This is a transformational book." --Marie Hoffman, director, Society for Exploration of Psychoanalytic Therapies and Theology"A provocative and inspiring book. Dueck and Reimer offer a radical critique of contemporary Christian and secular psychology and psychotherapy. Psychologists and anyone interested in the role of religion in contemporary human life will be challenged by their insightful analysis of the complexity of therapy in our world of many cultures." --F. LeRon Shults, University of Agder, Norway"Finally, an interculturally sensitive treatise on the integration of psychology and theology. A Peaceable Psychology is a courageous vision and my vote for the most important book by Christian psychologists in the past decade." --Steven J. Sandage, Bethel University"Dueck and Reimer speak prophetically out of their Mennonite traditions to argue for a peaceable psychology founded on the model of Jesus Christ. All Christians, and certainly all Christian psychologists, should read this book." --P. J. Watson, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga"Dueck and Reimer set forth a non-violent, non-coercive approach to therapy as if faith makes a difference, as though ethical values matter. This is a book for thoughtful caregivers who want to plunge deeply, those for whom floating on the psychological and therapeutic surface no longer satisfies."  --David Augsburger, Fuller Theological Seminary
