Counseling the Hard Cases: True Stories Illustrating the Sufficiency of God's Resources in Scripture

Heath Lambert; Stuart Scott (Editors) | Broadman & Holman

  • $37.99

  • Biblical counsellors have worked for decades to demonstrate that God's resources in Scripture are sufficient to help people with their counselling-related problems. In Counseling the Hard Cases, editors Stuart Scott and Heath Lambert use the true stories of real patients to show how the truths of God's Word can be released to bring help, hope and healing into the lives of those who struggle with some of the most difficult psychiatric diagnoses.

    From pastors and academics to physicians and psychiatrists, a world-class team of contributing counsellors share accounts of Scripture having helped overcome bipolar, dissociative identity and obsessive compulsive disorders, postpartum depression, panic attacks, addiction, issues from childhood sexual abuse, homosexuality and more.

    The book also shows how the graces of Christ, as revealed in the Bible, brought powerful spiritual change to the lives of such people who seemed previously burdened beyond hope by mental and emotional roadblocks.

A Caution

I’m not in a place to comment on the whole book but I found that the “scientific evidence” put forward in the section on dissociative identity disorder was actually not reflective of the wider scientific literature and is intentionally misleading. True dissociative identity disorder is a real disorder visible on fMRI scans and is caused by extreme and prolonged childhood trauma. It has nothing to do with demons or demonic possession (even if an alter claims to be a demon) and to conflate these things is harmful to an already vulnerable population. This book also views the host (the alter who spends the most time in the body) the true person and dismisses the other alters as made up, this is not true, all alters are real people who need the God’s love poured on them through gospel more than anything else.
