Abstract

An integrated and flexible counseling approach is outlined, which calls for competency in a number of techniques in order to serve a number of clients. Personality structure, motivation, and human development are discussed, addressing biological and environmental differences that account for individual differences. Health and illness are defined, with reference to spiritual need and a relationship with God. Illness is defined as possibly coming from a variety of sources, manifesting in a variety of ways, requiring a wide selection of appropriate interventions which can be used with or without spiritual elements. Effectiveness is established through empirical research and case studies. This flexible counseling approach fits with a worldview that understand the diversity that exists among people and their problems. secular counseling can be a great help to non-christian and christian clients. Adding a spiritual dynamic to counseling can give more depth and understanding to the process for christian clients as well as non-christian clients, if the counselor has the skills in determining the appropriate amount of integrating psychological theories with Biblical and spiritual dynamics.
