  Sexuality And Sex Therapy Second Edition

  $60.00

  A Comprehensive Survey of Human Sexuality from a Christian Perspective

  The field of human sexuality is one of ever-increasing complexity, particularly for Christian therapists and psychologists seeking to be faithful to Scripture, informed by science, and sensitive to culture. In Sexuality and Sex Therapy, Mark Yarhouse and Erica Tan offer a survey and appraisal of this field from a Christian perspective, grounding sex therapy in the biblical affirmation of physicality and the redemptive purposes of human life.

  This second edition:

  *Integrates the latest research with a Christian worldview as the authors explore sexual dysfunctions as well as various clinical issues and treatments,

  *Updates key research findings in each chapter, and

  *Addresses more recent societal trends related to gender identity, non-normative sexualities, digital and social media, and other areas of interest.

  Not only have Yarhouse and Tan written a standard resource for Christian therapists and counselors, but they also challenge the church to talk more honestly and openly about the blessing of human sexuality.

  Integration Of Psychology And Christianity

  $30.99

  Over the course of recent decades, scholars and practitioners have been working to integrate contemporary psychology-related fields and Christianity.

  This project continues to move forward, evidenced in associations, publications, degree programs, and conferences around the world. While much progress has been made, there are still foundational issues to be worked out and aspects of integration the community is just now venturing into. In this expert overview, psychologists William L. Hathaway and Mark A. Yarhouse take stock of the integration project to date, provide an introduction for those who wish to come on board, highlight work yet to be done, and offer a framework to strategically organize next steps. The authors’ attention encompasses five domains:

  *worldview integration
  *theoretical integration
  *applied integration
  *role integration
  *personal integration

  Their comprehensive approach yields insights relevant for non-clinical areas of psychological science as well as for counseling, social work, and other related mental health fields. Done properly, integration enriches our understanding of both Christianity and psychology. Through biblical and theological grounding and numerous examples, Hathaway and Yarhouse demonstrate how synthesis can continue to serve the field and make a difference in caring for individual lives.
