OCD, ADHD, PTSD, and bipolar disorder are no longer merely technical terms or medical diagnoses; they have become part of everyday vocabulary and culture. In Descriptions and Prescriptions, Michael R. Emlet, MD, blends his experience as a medical doctor and biblical counselor to offer a Christ-centered, biblically and scientifically informed approach to psychiatric labels, diagnoses, and the medications often prescribed to help those who are suffering.
Keeping the person who suffers at the center of care, Emlet uses Scripture to examine how the Bible engages questions surrounding psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. Written for lay and professional helpers, this concise volume provides a gospel-formed framework for pastors, counselors, families, and caregivers. It is the first book in the Helping the Helper series.
