Description: This book, "Competent to Counsel" by Jay E. Adams, is a must-have for anyone interested in Christian counseling or spirituality. The author shares his experience and expertise in a way that is approachable for counselors, workers, and laypersons alike. This first edition, published in 1970, has stood the test of time and remains a relevant and insightful resource for those seeking to better understand the intersection of Christianity and counseling. With 287 pages of unabridged content, this trade paperback is in vintage condition. The narrative type is nonfiction and the book falls under the category of spirituality, religious & spiritual, and philosophy. The edge of the pages is a teeny bit soiled from use, however the book is substantially readable. A few pages have been written on. Please see photos. The refreshing new approach to counseling advocated in Competent to Counsel, now firmly established as nouthetic counseling (from the Greek word nouthetic, to admonish, warn, instruct), obviously was a method of counseling sought by many who may have suspected that secular counseling techniques were not only antithetical to biblical truth but also amazingly barren and ineffective. Adams' thoroughly scriptural approach offered a welcome escape from the deeply worn ruts of secular psychiatry.
