Description

Author:  Greg E. Gifford

In this definitive Christian critique of secular therapy and mental health culture, an experienced Christian counselor probes why, after spending more resources than ever before to improve our “mental health,” diagnoses and suicide rates continue to rise, and offers proven solutions grounded in Christianity.

For decades, secular therapy has probed the mysteries of the mind. But rather than eradicating issues like anxiety the way vaccines conquered smallpox, the number of mental illness diagnoses has increased exponentially, affecting all ages. Modern secular treatment is not making many people better, rather, it is estimated that approximately 20 million children and nearly one in four adults suffer from a mental illness today.

How did we get here? And how do we even define a mental illness?

In Lies My Therapist Told Me, biblical counselor and professor Greg Gifford explores these questions from a Christian worldview. He demonstrates that, without a biblical understanding of the mind, today’s therapists are not equipped to treat many of the issues that fall under the category of mental illness.

Through deep research and the inspiring stories of real counselees, Gifford offers hope to those suffering from these often-debilitating conditions and offers clarity where secular therapy has created confusion. He answers questions about how to handle diagnoses and medication, and how to renew your mind and experience new life in Christ.

Lies My Therapist Told Me is essential for both counselors and those they treat, and offers insight and hope for even the hardest and most challenging cases. Gifford argues that you can read all of the secular mental health literature in the world, but you will not find the ultimate solutions to these problems, because true answers come from God’s Word. This breakthrough book shows you the way to end suffering and begin renewal.
