Counselor's Guide to the Brain and its Disorders: Knowing the Difference between Disease and Sin
Outline: - Is human behavior purely an act of the will?
- What happens when the body becomes dysfunctional - especially the brain?
* Chemical imbalances controlled by the brain do have behavioral consequences, so how can counselors assess and deal with them?
These and many similar questions are addressed by this book.
The author presents clear and accurate information so that two extremes can be avoided: the assumption that human behavior is simply and comprehensively an act of the will unaffected by brain/body/chemical mechanisms and, on the other side, the assumption that human behavior is essentially biological functioning that is exclusively dictated by brain/chemical mechanisms.
This is a handbook for Christian counselors of all sorts to explain the functions of the brain, to describe functional disorders to help in diagnosis, and to assess the issues of moral responsibility that counselors constantly wrestle with in the counseling enterprise. The framework is thoroughly biblical and also sensitive to the complexities of physical existence.
