Experiencing God through Christian Counselling: Implicit and Explicit Integration
Rev Dr Siang-Yang Tan
Experiencing God through Christian counselling can occur along a continuum of prayerful, intentional integration of Christian faith and counselling, empowered and led by the Holy Spirit. The two ends of this continuum are implicit integration that is more covert and quiet, and explicit integration that is more overt and direct, including the use of prayer and inner healing prayer, the Scriptures, and other spiritual disciplines in counselling. Ethical guidelines for the sensitive and appropriate use of spiritual resources and explicit integration in counselling will be provided. The latest research findings and developments in spiritually integrated counselling or psychotherapy will also be briefly covered.
