Descriptions & Prescriptions

As Christians, how should we approach psychiatric diagnoses and their related treatments? We cannot isolate ourselves and simply dismiss these categories as non-biblical. Nor can we fully accept secular psychiatric diagnoses and the entire treatment industry as the official solution, as if the Bible were irrelevant to these complex struggles. Rather, we need a sober approach informed by the Bible (and science!).

Biblical counselor and retired physician, Michael R. Emlet, forges a navigable path through these important issues as he guides lay and professional servants in the church through the labyrinthine mental health diagnoses and their treatments. This is a concise, clear, and well-thought-out book in which the Bible informs our understanding of psychiatric diagnoses and related medications. It gives us biblical and gospel-centered categories that will help us understand and effectively serve those who are struggling with mental health issues.
