Theme: The Integration of Psychology and Theology
Speakers: Rev Dr Danny Goh
There has been a wide variety of opinions concerning the validity of psychology in general and counseling using the Christian faith in particular. Whilst one camp believes that only the Bible can be used in determining truth and that science cannot be trusted, the other extreme are those who are willing to embrace truth as established by science albeit its obvious contradiction to Biblical interpretation.
Can psychology and theology ever be integrated? Are there common concerns that can be considered as possible in-between viewpoints?
In this talk, we will review the integration of psychology and Christian faith that attempts to bring together the truths of psychological science with the truths of the Christian faith in a coherent way.
The topics covered will include:
• How the Christian faith interfaces with psychology in a way that shapes how the Christian counselor/psychologist engages with the science and application of psychology.
• The implications of the difference for how Christian faith is construed to interface with psychology.
• The influence of the Christian belief on psychology without the counselor/psychologist being drawn to the conclusion of a specific Christian or biblical psychology.
