書中作者強調：基督徒輔導員在從事諮商工作時，必須同時思考「心理學」、「神學」和「靈命」這三個範疇，俾利從一個具整合性的角度，更客觀地瞭解當事人的問題；其分別強調：「心理學」評判諮商關係中的情緒和情感，「神學」應成為諮商的基本要素，「靈命」則幫助我們認識上帝的恩典，並從中汲取智慧。而基督徒輔導員亦需兼具謙卑的特質與敏銳的洞察力；於諮商時，既要掌握心理學方面的覺察意識，也當有符合聖經教導的神學觀點；此外，亦應重視屬靈生命的發展。如此多重任務的輔導工作，實在是極大的挑戰。本書即是作者融合其多年的臨床與專業經驗，且經過反覆驗證後的重要著作，相信必能成為基督徒輔導員不可或缺的參考用書，並在閱讀後深受啟發！

Christian practitioners need a fresh look at integration in a postmodern world.In

These are volatile times. Fear, suspicion, and cynicism are chronic. A mere tweet inflames the passions of millions while click-bait “hot takes” stoke the amygdalas of everyone with an Internet connection. We treat those not in our tribe as a threat and deem anyone with a different opinion as evil. Mistaking myopia for measure, we lack all sense of proportion in our judgments. We are shortsighted, mired in the present, ignorant of history, and blind to the future. We thought that technolog...
