Description: "This sourcebook applies the stories from the Hebrew Bible to current psychological issues. From the familiar to the obscure, these stories can help us understand self-esteem, loyalty and obligations, decision making, temptation, anger, morality, various disorders, family dynamics, support systems, developmental issues, recovery issues, aging, suicidal behavior, and more. Each story concludes with a discussion of its clinical implications. For psychotherapists, these biblical foundation stories can be used as a basis for integrating spirituality into psychotherapy."--BOOK JACKET.
