A Rant on Atheism, Credulity and Counselling Alexander Hylton Parker

Counselling was developed by psychologists who are led by the scientific method. In helping clients to overcome maladapted beliefs it is important that therapists have identified any values that could contaminate the counselling process. The dangers to clients when faced with a therapist who holds non-rational beliefs is real but rarely acknowledged. This examines religion's effect on the bias' of the therapist. It looks at the contamination of spiritual beliefs on understanding the scientific process and the suitability of a God as a moral guide. This book challenges the believer to examine the effect of their faith on their therapy.
