The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling, Second Edition
(CD-ROM Only) incorporates the
latest findings from the most capable authors on key topics, issues, and
movements in the field of psychology. With over 1,400 entries (articles and
cross-references), this massive volume has everything the Christian psychologist
or counselor needs to identify disorders, trends, techniques, and other
essential concepts. And each article has been reviewed for the second edition to
reflect the current literature in the field.
The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling has established
itself as one of the premier resources for pastors, counselors, and Christian
psychologists. This second edition has an added benefit for pastors and
counselors: to address the unique challenges they face, a new category of
articles exploring the many aspects of pastoral care and counseling has been
added. These include articles on grace and pastoral care, the role of the Holy
Spirit in counseling, legal issues in counseling, and pastoral care of the sick.
An all-star cast of Christian psychologists offer state-of-the-art
synopses of their field's major concepts, theories, and therapies. A
valuable resource for any Christian student, scholar, or practitioner of
psychology.
— David Myers, professor of psychology, Hope College
The trustworthiness of psychology has long been debated in Christian
communities. With the Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling,
you’ll have a dependable source of information for every facet of the theory and
practice of contemporary psychology. The work derives its strength from its
numerous contributors writing on their areas of expertise from a Christian
perspective.

Praise for the Print Edition
In these postmodern days, mental health professionals have suddenly
gained interest in the spiritual, but many seem to be ethereal meanderers
desperately in need of theological roots. This volume provides counselors,
pastors, educators, and students with relevant information solidly rooted in
Christian theology and well-established psychological principles. Covering a
wide range of topics--from advice giving to ethnic identity--each entry is
authored by a respected professional with a Christian worldview. The
Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling should be the
standard desk reference book for Christians working in mental health and
pastoral care.
— Mark R. McMinn, Ph.D.; Dr. Arthur P. Rech and Mrs. Jean May Rech Professor
of Psychology, Director, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, Wheaton
College
A classic has just become better! The substantial content of this new
edition will make it an even more useful treasure-house of information for
the Christian mental health professional.
— James R. Beck, Denver Seminary
The second edition of The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and
Counseling , written from a Christian perspective, is a great
resource and reference work. Editors David Benner and Peter Hill are to be
commended for a job well done!
— Siang-Yang Tan, professor of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary
The second edition of The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and
Counseling is a comprehensive compendium of knowledge about
psychology written by noted experts. Coverage is up-to-the-minute. This will
be an invaluable reference book for years. I heartily recommend it to
practicing mental health professionals, academicians, trainees, and
libraries.
— Everett L. Worthington Jr., professor of Psychology, Virginia Commonwealth
University
I have always held this work in the highest regard and consider it to be
one of the decade's most invaluable resources. It is exceptionally
comprehensive, and the second edition even surpasses the first. What I
particularly value about the encyclopedia is that it is a phenomenal
resource for integrating psychology and theology. The contributors are all
outstandingly integrative and not only present the facts about psychology
but critique these facts forthrightly and helpfully. Any Christian concerned
for the truth about the human condition, not just those in the helping
professions, will find this outstanding publication a great resource. I
certainly have. Aside from its value to Christians I believe the
encyclopedia is also a great resource for all psychologists and counselors.
In fact I have recommended it to some of my non-Christian contacts on
several occasions.
— Archibald D. Hart, Ph.D., FPPR., professor of psychology, Fuller
Theological Seminary
This is a monumental work! It is finely organized (alphabetically), well
summarized, and complete--a collection of definitions and concise
explanations of both psychiatric and psychological theories and persons. It
is accurate, well documented, and highly readable, and its biblical
perspective gives it special usefulness for Christian therapists.
The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling is a necessity
for ministers, counselors, and students of the mental health sciences.
— Grace H. Ketterman, M.D.
Since 1985 The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling
has been the single-volume reference for a comprehensive treatment from a
Christian perspective. With this second edition the best is now better.
David Benner and Peter Hill are pillars of academic integrity (and
endurance) in the integration field.
— Gary W. Moon, president, Psychological Studies Institute
The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling is a
must-have reference tool for Christian counseling professors, clinicians,
pastors, and students.
— Timothy Clinton, President, American Association of Christian Counselors
The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling is a must
for any person involved in pastoral or Christian counseling. Not only does
this second edition contain what one would expect in an encyclopedia, but it
also includes articles to bless and equip the counselor. . . . I heartily
recommend this valuable tool. It is a must for any serious counselor’s
library and will be of use for many years to come.
— Tom Gill, Ministries Today
The Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling factually
presents the major current findings in the field, treated comprehensively
from a Christian point of view.

Benefits of the Logos Bible Software Edition
The print edition of the Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling
is massive to say the least. Compiling all the information necessary for a work
of this scope into a single volume meant using tiny font and well over a
thousand pages. With the Logos Bible Software edition, every article can be
searched by word or Bible passage. Maneuvering through the articles with
Libronix’s advanced search features means the information you need is only a few
keystrokes away.
This download is the answer to a prayer. I'm just getting ready to
prepare a very heavily weighted paper for grad school and have been using a
first edition hard bound copy of this book for research. This will make it
so much easier and fruitful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
—Cynthia Ventura, Director of Non-Traditional Enrollment in the School of
Lifelong Learning, Philadelphia Biblical Universityy
