A Critique of Secular Therapeutic Culture

Dr. Greg Gifford’s latest book, “Lies My Therapist Told Me: Why Christians Should Aim for More Than Just Treating Symptoms,” is scheduled for release in late May. Published by Broadside Books, an imprint of HarperCollins, the book is designed to be “the definitive Christian critique of secular psychiatry and psychology,” according to its publisher’s description.

Gifford, who serves as the chair of the biblical studies department and a biblical counseling professor at The Master’s University, says, “While the mental health enterprise fails, perpetuating faulty ideas and faulty solutions, the Bible shines bright. God’s Word tells us what the mind is and how it can be transformed. Some of us, as Christians, have settled for inferior solutions in mental health, and God’s Word is superior.”

The book is available for preorder on the HarperCollins website.
