Summary: The ONLY Valid Counseling
Comment: Secular readers won't understand or accept this book. That's a shame. There are no earthly psychologists, only God knows our minds. The shambles of the earthly worldview-based counseling is responsible for causing far more harm than good by instilling a sense of victimhood.

This book targets the heart, not the mind, and doesn't rely on feelings but a strong sense of what is absolutetly right and absolutely wrong.

Rating: 5
Summary: The best single volume on counseling
Comment: My edition is from 1980, but what Collins says in these pages is timeless. He deals with so many different kinds of issues, from personal issues to single/marriage issues and even sex. I certainly don't claim to be a psychologist or counselor, but this book has been a helpful tool to use for reference on a number of issues as I have lived my life and for friends who have been going through a variety of issues. I recommend this for the average Christian layperson.

Rating: 4
Summary: As long as you understand the author's background...
Comment: Generally a very good book. The theological orientation is a bit "low church" (a perception doubtless colored by my own Catholicism) and the chapter on homosexuality is of dubious validity in its claims of the origins of homosexuality (its perspectives are determined more by wishful thinking than by clinical research). Still, it's an interesting overview of issues in pastoral counseling. Not for those without at least some training in counseling issues, but for those who feel that counseling has an imperative to have a spiritual basis, this is a good resource.
