A Counselor's Guide to the Brain and its Disorders

Understanding the difference between illness and sin

• How can we know if a problem is spiritual or physical?
• What does the brain do and what happens when it is not working well?
• How can we better understand those with brain injuries?
• When should we direct people to doctors?

• What should we know about psychoactive medications?

These and many other similar questions are addressed in this book.

Studying the brain and its disorders is very important for all types of counselors. If they don't, counselors who see unusual behavior may misinterpret brain dysfunction and think only in spiritual terms. However, this topic has its challenges. Therefore, this book will begin in the theological trenches , to clarify assumptions, define the nature of the person, consider possible exceptions to human responsibility, and provide a model for understanding brain dysfunction. In the process we will discover that there are many more answers than we imagine. It is the author's hope that the content of this book encourages you to care for others and stimulate your faith.
