"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- His good, pleasing and perfect will." -- Romans 12:2, NIV
Below are links related to psychology and counseling. They are useful for research and learning more about these fields. DISCLAIMER: To learn about these fields requires discernment, testing all things and holding only to that which is good (see 1 Thessalonians 5:21). I seek to understand various things, but I do not accept all of these things as true or right. Not all sites referenced below necessarily reflect my beliefs about therapy. Yet, in my opinion, there are valuable aspects of many psychological theories and resources, even if the theory or resource in its entirety is questionable. Further, though we can be transformed by the renewing of our minds (see Romans 12:1-2), lasting and true transformation can only occur with the Holy Spirit giving us the Mind of Christ.
--James Johnson (Beacon Deacon)
