Spiritual or Therapeutic Help William I Imona-Russel

Pastoral or therapeutic care involves the functionality of an ordained pastor or lay person on one hand and a social or clinical psychologist on the other hand to accomplish either permanent results by divine intervention or temporal results through human therapy. Thus, pastoral care that is motivated by the Spirit of God is faith based and relies on the power of prayer, whereas therapeutic care depends on human theory motivated by man.

This book serves as a guide for helpers--who must look beyond the scope of human therapy to enforce permanent changes in their clients. It takes the handiwork of God to determine psychological or behavioural changes in people, not the power of the human person.
