Rae (Eugene Rae), 1927- Incidental psychotherapy within Christian relationships [electronic resource] : mental health benefits from therapeutic alliances built on the caring love of Christians / E. Rae Harcum. Lanham, Md. : Hamilton Books, c2011. 1 online resource (xii, 88 p.) Includes bibliographical references. The therapeutic alliance -- Responsibility for "cure" -- The Christian connection -- Guidelines for connecting -- Branded by our walks -- Friendship and marriage -- Confrontation and forgiveness. This work points out the close similarity between the loving connections of Christians and therapeutic relationships between psychotherapists and clients. Thus, a simple Christian connection has an incidental therapeutic value for a troubled friend. Yet, the author continuously emphasizes that a Christian connection is never forged for the purpose of restoring mental health, but to obey the Christian mandate to love.
