Nouthetics, Right or Wrong? Decision still pending...

So I will have even more Sunday evening, but for now, in Richard Ganz’s book Psychobabble he makes some rather interesting propositions.  Essentially, it seems, psychology is flawed because it is based on God-less systems that reject His existence, therefore they cannot rightly understand man either, thus their conclusions are flawed due to faulty beginnings.  Then, he says, counseling is primarily a sin issue, helping those in need understand their need for salvation first, then with believers, helping them understand how repentance is needed if it is the result of their sin, or biblical understanding to deal with the issue if it is due to someone else’s sin.  To be honest, I am not sure how this deals with every part of counseling, but it is interesting.  My biggest concern is how do we then determine good Biblical counselors?  By evaluating their theology?  So Calvinists can’t counsel Arminians?  I don’t know.  I’m reading Jay Adams next, and he started the movement that came to be called Nouthetic counseling, a.k.a. Biblical counseling, so maybe I’ll find more there.  I’m also interested in what you all might have to say, so drop me a comment.
