About Daniel
I am pleased to recommend this important and helpful addition to the biblical counselor’s toolbox. Daniel Berger has quickly become a valued member of the International Association of Biblical Counselors and his volumes provide research and sound scholarship for issues often avoided in biblical counseling.
In this book, Dr. Berger challenges the common psychological and psychiatric doctrines that lead to diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
You may be surprised that there are clear biblical explanations and solutions for these conditions, but be encouraged that God’s Word has provided everything needed to help suffering friends, family members, and fellow Christians.
Dr. Berger writes for a scholastic and practicing community of counselors, but his insights will be helpful as well for individuals and families struggling with issues that seem beyond cure without psychotherapy and psychoactive drugs.
At a recent IABC conference, an attendee said, “I never understood why you folks are so concerned about psychology, but after hearing Dr. Berger, I get it!” I recommend you get his books and share them with your friends.
Dr. Ed Bulkley – President of the International Association of Biblical Counselors
