Synopsis from bakerpublishinggroup.com

For the past decade the Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology has established itself as one of the premier resources for pastors, counselors, and Christian psychologists. A new edition makes this unique tool even more valuable.

This second edition, now titled Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling, has an added benefit for pastors and counselors. To address the unique challenges they face, a new category of articles exploring pastoral care and counseling has been added. Articles on grace and pastoral care, the role of the Holy Spirit in counseling, legal issues in counseling, and pastoral care of the sick are included.

The revised Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling incorporates the latest findings from the most capable authors on key topics, issues, and movements. With over 1,400 entries (articles and cross-references), this edition boasts 400 more entries than the first edition. More than half of the articles are either new or revised, and all of them have been reviewed to reflect the current literature in the field.
