I.
Summary
a.
Primary Goal
Christian maturity is the ultimate goal when it comes to biblical
counseling (Crabb, 1977)
The best approach usually comes from those who have formal or informal
preparation in both psychology and theology (McMinn, 2011).
b.
Development of Problems and Personal Need
The problems that people face is that their desire for love which is the
greatest personal need for relational connections and belongingness
(Benner,2015).
c.
Biblical Integration
Clinical psychologist respected the importance of religion due to the
benefits of coping to one’s difficulties (Entwistle, 2015).
Nouthetic counseling is driven by biblical principles that confront people
in an empathetic loving manner to aid in change (Powlison,2010).
d.
Formula for Change
The steps I would integrate would be the informal approach that Benner
and Adams approach. Christians were on the front line of helping the
mental ill (Entwistle, 2015).
I would prefer an informal approach similar to Benner or Adams when it
comes to helping a client change. Adams method embrace three ideas that
are called confrontation, concern, and change (Powlison,2010).
e.
Balance of Theology and Spirituality

Crabb method offers a balance between the theology and spirituality
because of what they have to offer or benefit from each other (Crabb,
1977).
f.
Human Personality
Adams informs that that human being lack of love for each other and
relationship with God had so much to do with the negative behaviors
(Powlison,2010).
g.
Humans Counselor’s Function and Role
Adams perspective on the relationship between the counselor and the
client is an encouraging approach (Powlison,2010).
h.
Contributions of Your Personal Theory of Counseling
I prefer Crabb personal theory. Crabb theory shaped students in the
counseling profession within the church setting (Crabb, 1977).
i.
Limitations of this Counseling Theory
Adams has nouthetic and biblical approach; this limits his views on
different area to where it rejects secular psychology (Powlison,2010)
j.
Classification
Crabb approach as an integrative one because he views a balance
between spirituality and psychology (Crabb, 1977).
II.
Practical Application
a.
Utility for Counseling and Potential Personal Influence
As a pastor wife, I would prefer a pastoral counselor if I were in a
situation such as adultery. The author shows his readers how our basic

need for self-worth must be satisfied to have their solution relating to his
audience, which is unconditional love and security from our basic needs
(Crabb, 1977).
b.
Brief Example in a Counseling Moment
I would provide Adams and Crabb similar approach in scripture and
psychology competency. Powlison informs how Adams brings forth being
very wise in knowledge in scripture and theological training when it
comes to counseling is as equally important to the pastoral counselor
training as well (pg. 132).
