Description

OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these don’t seem to be just diagnoses from the DSM; they are part of our everyday vocabulary and understanding of people. As Christians, how must we take into consideration psychiatric diagnoses and their associated treatments? We will t manage to pay for to isolate ourselves and simply dismiss these categories as unbiblical. Nor are we able to manage to pay for to accept all of the secular psychiatric diagnostic and remedy enterprise at face value as though Scripture is irrelevant for these complex struggles. Instead, we need a balanced, biblically (and scientifically!) informed approach that is neither too warmly embracing nor too coldly dismissive of psychiatric labels and the psychiatric medications that are ceaselessly prescribed. Biblical counselor and retired physician, Michael R. Emlet, gives readers a helpful way forward on these important issues as he guides lay and professional helpers in the church through the thicket of mental health diagnoses and treatments in a clear, thoughtful primer in which the Bible informs our understanding of psychiatric diagnoses and the medications that are ceaselessly recommended based on those labels. This first book in the Helping the Helper series will give readers biblical, gospel-formed categories that will help them understand and minister to those people who are struggling with mental health issues.
