The Theory of Christian Psychology Eva Klostreich

The Theory of Christian Psychology comes from the worldview that sees humanity as the object of a love relationship with Jesus Christ. Parallel to Buddhist forms of Psychology, The Theory of Christian Psychology meets the worldwide Christian population need for its own Psychology. The Theory of Christian Psychology presents a flexible foundation, addressing personality with full humanity dimension, integrating principles of clinical psychology found in Psychoanalytic Psychodynamic Psychology. Soundly Biblical and non-denominational it focuses on key precepts that bind Christianity together. The Theory of Christian Psychology bridges clinical psychology and theology in an intersection of power accessibility. "Psychology has been culture alien to Christianity. I have been asked to leave churches who 'only need God' when they discovered I was a psychologist, and criticized by others, 'who only need psychology.' Sound psychological principles are inherent throughout the Bible. There is no dichotomy necessary. We just need to speak the same language to clearly see the intersection." Issues addressed in The Theory of Christian Psychology carry relevancy for law and education. Her fi rst book, Dr. Klostreich plans to continue to write and speak. She is initiating The Institute for Christian Psychology to offer seminars, training, certification and ongoing research.
