PRACTICAL THEOLOGY, SPIRITUALITY and FORMATION
THEOLOGY FOR PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELING An Invitation to Holistic Christian Practice Kutter Callaway and William B. Whitney
This book explores the significance of theology and the Christian faith for the practice of psychology. It introduces undergradu- ate psychology students to basic theological terminology and concepts and lays out a method for theological reflection that in- forms the practice of psychology in clinical and research settings. The authors identify, develop, and deepen the key theological doctrines that operate in the background of the practice of psy- chology and are essential for integration efforts between psy- chology and theology. They upgrade the biblical and theological content of these integration efforts, focusing on the ways theology deepens psychologists’ understanding of their field and their work. Each chapter includes introductory takeaways, questions for reflection and discussion, and resources for further study and reading. Theology for Psychology and Counseling demonstrates how psychol- ogy and the Christian faith can be brought together in a mutually enriching lived practice, helping students engage in psychology in a theologically informed way. KUTTER CALLAWAY (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is associate professor of theology and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary. He teaches at both the seminary and the graduate school of psychology and is the author of five books, most recently Deep Focus: Theology and Film in Dialogue and The Aesthetics of Atheism . WILLIAM B. WHITNEY (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is associate professor of psychology at Azusa Pacific University. He is a licensed marriage and family therapist with a private practice in Pasadena, California.
