 More substantive information needed. Nov 17, 2009
I have not read this book. I researched the author and it appears that he is a main stream psychology/psychiatry proponent dependent on the DSM IV. Even his training is in experimental psychology. He says that he still suffers from depression. Is it possible to get valid Christian counsel from a psychologist who has not be able to conquer his own depression?
A more substantive critical review would be helpful, especially one that reviews the spiritual content of this book.

 Helpful and honest Aug 19, 2006
Austin writes from three important perspectives: on a personal level, he has experienced depression himself and grown up with parents who both had mental health issues; on a professional level, he has a degree in counseling and that is what he does for a living; on a spiritual level, he is a born-again Christian. Each of these perspectives contributes to a book that is both honest and helpful.
