From the Back Cover
A unique manual for True Biblical Counselling for ministers and laymen. The authors contend that all non-organic "mental illnesses" are due to self centredness and self-pity.
Dr. Robert Law worked in psychiatric hospitals and when he entered the Anglican ministry he realised that the root cause of the problems of the numerous people he counselled was self-pity. When this was pointed out to them, almost all agreed and then rapidly improved.
He drew up a chart showing how all problems stem from self-centredness that could develop into self-pity (See frontispiece and page 18). This generates deep guilt which is covered up by adopting various behaviours such as schizophrenia and depression.
The authors examine these two major classifications and show that they are wrongly diagnosed as "illnesses" which allow patients to reside in psychiatric wards sheltered from the normal stresses of living.
A weight of evidence is presented to show that schizophrenia can be cured simply by training patients to take increasing responsibility for their actions without drugs. In one case a complete ward of schizophrenics was released into the community, fully restored to normal social life with very few relapsing. Prisoners have similarly been returned to society by this method. All such successful results have been completely ignored in this country.
A method of True Biblical Counselling is set out and practice cases given. Psychiatry, Freud, psychoanalysis and Christian use of secular theories are criticised. The authors contend that the church should return to counselling its members using True Biblical Counselling and not commit them to secular treatments.
