Discussion Post: The Value of Integration

I work at a sexual assault treatment center as well as child protection team so use that as an example.

The Learn materials discussed the value of integrating psychology and our Christian faith in counseling. When you think of the area of human services counseling, per se, what do you think are the most important points made in the lecture that would encourage you to look for ways to use both psychology and theology/Christian spirituality in your human services counseling? Even if you work in a secular setting (such as a community mental health center) how can you utilize some of the elements of a "Christian" counseling approach (as defined in the lecture) in all human services counseling settings?

Put another way, how could you argue that in answering the question "what is the solution to our problems" we should draw from both psychology and theology/spirituality, rather than just one worldview perspective? In your answer, demonstrate that you are reflecting on solid concepts from the lectures; cite the lectures correctly as directed in the Discussion Assignment Instructions document.
