This work is a scholarly guide to counselling and psychotherapy. It describes the rise of the secular psychologies, with their roots in Freud, branching out into psychoanalysis, behaviourism, humanistic and existential psychology, and the "new therapies".

This guide demonstrates how to use the Bible for counselling purposes, with each chapter offering case studies to illustrate points raised, questions for discussion and suggestions for personal reflection. The book is designed as a resource for those involved in pastoral and counselling work.
Five Pathways to Wholeness examines a variety of approaches to pastoral care: biblical counselling, the healing ministries, pastoral counselling, spiritual direction and social change. Bringing together material from a range of sources, and offering numerous engaging real-life illustrations, the author compares and evaluates each of the five approaches in its own right. At the same time, he encourages those who favour a particular pathway to respect and understand the raison d'�tre of the other four. All five, he believes, can move to a more truly 'integrational' theological and psychological viewpoint.
