Description
As counselors, it is essential to develop a framework for how to practice counseling. For Christian counselors, then, it is necessary to develop a framework that is faithful to Scripture and one that wisely evaluates the most common approaches to counseling in the secular therapeutic world. To do so, the Christian counselor must understand what the Bible has to say about life’s problems and be able to apply Scripture to problems as they arise.
The purpose of this assignment is to help you evaluate your current understanding of the interaction between Christian worldview and counseling theory. Completing this assignment at the beginning of the course, you will have a reference for how your understanding develops over the course of the class.
Write a 1,000-1,200-word paper, which explains the following:
Each of the four components of a Christian worldview: (1) a set of assumptions, (2) commitments, (3) a framework, and (4) how it impacts behavior, with at least one applicable example from the Bible for each of them
The components of the Christian worldview that can be seen in two or three counseling theories (theories referenced in Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Christian Perspective that you have studied in previous courses)
The value of counseling theory in professional Christian counseling practice
The influence that the Christian worldview and counseling theory can have on your professional Christian counseling practice now and in the future
Support your position by referencing the Bible, textbook, and another topic Resource. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.
