Counseling and the Bible vs. Psychology
Quote from a psychiatrist named Dr. James Fischer, made after 50 years of mental health experience. It was excerpted from A Few buttons Missing (1951, p. 273): "If you were to take the sum total of all authoritative articles ever written by the most qualified of psychologists and psychiatrists on the subject of mental hygiene; and if you were to combine them and refine them and cleave out the excess verbiage; and if you were to take the whole of the meat and none of the bones; and if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets; you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the teachings of Christ, particularly the Sermon On The Mount; and it would suffer immeasurably in comparison."
