Plante -- An integration approach / Mark McMinn -- A Christian psychology approach / Diane Langberg -- A transformational approach / Gary Moon -- A biblical counseling approach / Stuart W.

This volume explores how five major perspectives on the interface of Christianity and psychology would each actually be applied in a clinical setting. Respected experts associated with each of the perspectives depict how to assess, conceptualize, counsel and offer aftercare to Jake, a hypothetical client with a variety of complex issues. In each case the contributors seek to explain how theory can translate into real-life counseling scenarios. --from publisher description
