“We’re back today with another episode of our series, ‘Best of Psychology.’ The basic idea of the series is that Biblical counseling has always been know for how it was against psychology. And, with reason, there’s a lot we object to. But we’ve also always said that there is good in the secular psychological endeavor, which is our neighboring discipline. This series is our attempt to explore that side of the equation a bit further.” Host, Alasdair Groves discusses with David Powlison the areas where he has benefitted from secular psychology.
This is part 3 of a 3 part series: Part 1 | Part 2
