Psychiatric Disorders: 2011 National Conference Download

6 general sessions and 20 breakout sessions

How do you help someone who seems too hard to reach? Who’s the person behind the diagnosis? The church tends to back away from complex problems. Psychiatry is tasked with addressing these problems, but every thoughtful psychiatrist knows that troubled people need more than meds: they need meaning and relationship.

The goal of this conference is to equip you with a clearer understanding of complex problems, a compassion for troubled people, and the ability to engage with strugglers and helpers in the church and the world. Speakers include David Powlison, Ed Welch, Mike Emlet, and Tim Lane.
