Judeo-Christian Perspectives on Psychology: Human Nature, Motivation, and Changeby William R. Miller
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:While spiritual aspects of health are familiar to many medical practitioners and in the treatment of substance use disorders, psychology as a discipline still has some catching up to do. This volume is a further step in the dialogue between psychology and religion. The central question is how psychology's understanding of human nature might be informed, altered, or expanded by historic Judeo-Christian perspectives, addressed primarily to psychologists and other behavioral scientists.
Book News Annotation:In 2001, the Pew Charitable Trust challenged psychology, along with
seven other academic disciplines, to show how its dominant models of
human nature compare with a Judeo-Christian view of the individual.
Miller and Delaney, professors of psychology at the University of New
Mexico, took on the task and here present a report of this two-year
scholarly process. Contributors in psychology, public health, and
pastoral counseling examine a range of Judeo-Christian models of
human nature and look at how psychological research and practice
might differ if informed by theistic perspectives.
