This book attempts to appraise each of the current major psychotherapy theories in the mental health field from the perspective of evangelical Christianity. It is a "dialog" between the supposedly nonreligious therapeutic psychologies and the religious Christian tradition. But it is a dialog where one side of the conversation, that of the Christian faith, is presumed to have the ultimate standing as truth. - Introduction.
