Modern liberal public college and university psychology curriculums usually ignore the mental health capabilities and super powers of the Gospel of Christ Jesus because the men who began the psychology industry were not Christians and the industry was slow to change.
of prayer and of the Christian lifestyle because the ungodly goal is to keep as many people as possible from the Kingdom of God, according to Anti-Christian's will.
Humanism, liberalism, anti-Christian psychology and philosophy have been invading America's institutions of higher learning for double-digit decades, and now the takeover is almost complete.
After all, philosophy courses completely feature anti-Christian thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche. And these courses are requisites in many of said curriculums. Many universities offer a combined major in philosophy and psychology.
However, traditionally, most philosophers and psychologists advocate atheism and-or Anti-Christianity.
Should institutions of higher learning's psychology curriculums include religious courses in the first freshman semester, and continue throughout undergraduate and graduate school?
Yes.
Both religion and anti-religion are undeniably of crucial importance in almost all aspects of human thought and behavior.
Couldn't said religious courses be presented in an unbiased manner, providing only education and not advocation for one religion over another?
Certainly.
So, why don't they? Because we are in a spiritual war against the powers of darkness that control the vast majority of public and private college and university psychology curriculums, including their publications, sponsorships, radio and television broadcasts.
For most of the history of college and university psychology major curriculums, the fact that Jesus Christ could play a major role in clinical therapy was non-existent.
According to an American Psychological Association online interview, conducted with Kenneth Pargament, PhD in 2013, that still holds true today, “for many years, psychologists steered clear of religion and spirituality in clinical practice. That was perhaps because there was some history of religious antipathy among early psychology leaders such as Sigmund Freud and B.F. Skinner, or perhaps because psychologists generally lack training in this area.”
Christianity and Anti-Christianity both play major roles in almost everyone’s life. Yet, there are still very few classes, if any, focused on teaching about the role religion plays in human behavior.
Philosophy and logic are often part of a psychology major’s courses. And, unfortunately, a large share of philosophers, like Nietzsche, try their best to represent Anti-Christian logic.
Emerging research is showing that Christian-integrated approaches to treatment are as effective as other treatments. There is, in short, good scientifically based reason to be more sensitive to religion and spirituality in clinical practice.
Even now, some psychologists will not recommend a conversion to Christianity as a treatment for a Buddhist suffering from depression. While some psychologists may recommend a conversion to Islam for a Christian suffering from alcoholism.
If a psychologist has no clue about the Holy Bible’s teachings against alcoholism, then what are the chances that the clinical treatment will include praying and reading the Bible in order to improve discipline and self-will?
All psychology curriculums should start with religious courses in the first freshman semester and continue throughout undergraduate and graduate school.
