Download or read book Jesus The Ultimate Therapist written by Kerry Kerr Mcavoy and published by Kerry McAvoy. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her counseling practice, Dr. McAvoy is familiar with the lop-sided client-therapist alliance. Assuming the role of expert causes an inequity of power between herself and her clients. Due to ethical concerns, there are beneficial limitations in the counseling relationship. Therapists, for example, are discouraged from having friendships with patients, and romantic relationships are prohibited. Necessary relationship boundaries help to protect clients from potential mistreatment and abuse. Unlike mental health counselors, Jesus doesn't have these same limitations. Since Jesus is, by his very nature, love, then he is able to perfectly cherish, encourage, and care for us. Our relationship with him goes beyond any human example of community or therapeutic alliance. He is the ultimate therapist, one without boundaries or limits. This devotional is the second in the Living Life 2 the Fullest series. In this study you will explore how Jesus is our Messiah, Lamb of God, kinsman-redeemer, friend, king and bridegroom. Similar to the first devotional, Bringing Hope and Healing, this study is six-weeks long. The format remains the same in that there are weekly topics accompanied by a meditation exercise and a corresponding musical playlist. Four days of daily devotionals expand on the weekly subject. Psychologically-oriented questions are also used throughout the study to aid you in examining your spiritual life and deepening your relationship with Christ.

Download or read book Jesus the Ultimate Therapist Bringing Hope and Healing written by Kerry Kerr McAvoy Ph. D. and published by Kerry\McAvoy. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychologist's role is to help clients achieve a greater sense of harmony within their community and within themselves. This usually is achieved through some form of emotional or psychological healing. Dr. McAvoy has learned from clinical research and her practical experience as a psychologist that the most effective tool to achieve this goal is the therapeutic relationship. It has been consistently found that psychological healing occurs over time when a client feels unconditionally accepted and safe to discuss his or her most painful issues. If human therapists can reasonably achieve the goal of emotional healing through the context of an accepting, supportive clinical relationship, then how much more success will Jesus have in bringing psychological healing to you and me. It was this insight that inspired Dr. McAvoy to write "Bringing Hope and Healing." In this study, the reader will explore six different interpersonal roles with Jesus, including Jesus as: Emmanuel, the Word of God, Light of God, Perfect High Priest, Teacher, and The Good Shepherd. Each week consists of an overview of the topic along with a meditation exercise and corresponding musical playlist to use during personal worship time. Four days of daily devotionals expand on the weekly subject. Psychologically-oriented questions are used thorough out the study which will aid the reader to examine the current status of his or her walk with Christ and deepen this spiritual relationship.

Download or read book Jesus the Master Psychologist Listen to Him written by Ray Guarendi and published by Ewtn. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Ray Guarendi directs us to the root of all healthy counseling: the words of the Redeemer. Rightly regarded as America's leading Catholic psychologist and family counselor, EWTN's Dr. Ray Guarendi details here the fundamentals of Christian psychology in his incomparable down-to-earth style. In some teachings, Jesus is two millennia ahead of what psychology is only now coming to understand. In others, He directly contradicts what today's psychology preaches. In these pages, Dr. Ray explores the teachings of both modern psychology and Jesus Christ to identify the therapy tools worth employing -- and those we should avoid. Most notably, he helps us understand that every tool and counseling guideline worth pursuing can find its roots directly in the words of Christ. Jesus knows our minds far more intimately than we do, and He knows the rewards we receive for following the paths He advocates. Indeed, in tackling any interior or exterior difficulty, there is certain knowledge that with Christ's guidance comes reassurance and peace of mind, if only we know the path. Dr. Guarendi's experience as a father of ten and his mastery of the New Testament enable him to provide recommendations for dealing with numerous daily issues, including: How to overcome jealousy and other passions What it means -- and doesn't mean -- to turn the other cheek How to turn negativity into a harnessed virtue -- without changing your nature How to transform your natural qualities into supernatural qualities The benefits of having problem children How to improve your self-awareness What the old adage "know thyself" really means How Jesus turns self-esteem mantras on their heads

Download or read book The Three Christs of Ypsilanti written by Milton Rokeach and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 1, 1959, at Ypsilanti State Hospital in Michigan, the social psychologist Milton Rokeach brought together three paranoid schizophrenics: Clyde Benson, an elderly farmer and alcoholic; Joseph Cassel, a failed writer who was institutionalized after increasingly violent behavior toward his family; and Leon Gabor, a college dropout and veteran of World War II. The men had one thing in common: each believed himself to be Jesus Christ. Their extraordinary meeting and the two years they spent in one another’s company serves as the basis for an investigation into the nature of human identity, belief, and delusion that is poignant, amusing, and at times disturbing. Displaying the sympathy and subtlety of a gifted novelist, Rokeach draws us into the lives of three troubled and profoundly different men who find themselves “confronted with the ultimate contradiction conceivable for human beings: more than one person claiming the same identity.”

Bob Kellemen builds on the foundation of the written Word and provides a gospel-centered resource for understanding people, diagnosing problems, and prescribing biblically-based solutions. Gospel-Centered Counseling is the first volume in The Equipping Christian Counselors Series, a comprehensive relational training curriculum for the local church that provides a model for equipping God’s people to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth.
