Case Studies Utilizing Anderson s Model

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Anxiety disorders are the most common aliments in the adult population in the United States, accounting for approximately one third of health care service costs. Likewise, depression is one of the most costly ailments to employers because of lost worker production. Secular models of counseling that incorporate a cognitive approach have been found to be effective in treating anxiety and depressive symptoms, but what about Christian counseling techniques? Neil Anderson developed the Freedom in Christ Christian counseling model which is based on cognitive counseling principles as well as spiritual warfare concepts. This book examines three case studies to test a hypothesis that participants going through Anderson s Steps to Freedom process would reflect decreases in depression and anxiety symptoms as well as improvements in spiritual functioning. The analysis should help fulfill the need for more empirically based research on Christian counseling models, and should be especially useful to professional and lay counselors serving individuals who seek Christian or spiritual interventions in therapy.
