Against Psychotherapy / For the Bible brings together Martin and Deidre Bobgan’s concerns regarding Christians turning to psychotherapy for their trials, tribulations, and troubles rather than following Christ and growing spiritually through duress. This book has been written to bring to light much that has been hidden in plain sight.
Both the Bible and psychotherapy depend on words that at times may sound similar but come from different directions and lead to different eternal results. The Bible describes the condition of humans and God’s remedies. The words of the Gospel bring new life to those who believe and follow the Bible. God communicates to humans through His revealed Word. Psychotherapy uses words to communicate as well. But psychological theories include multiple, often contradictory ideas of the human condition and human-devised remedies. The Bible uses words to teach truth and doctrine, but psychological counseling uses words to teach human ideas from mere mortals. All psychotherapy is simply conversation as cure, and it involves self-centered sinful conversations.
