This attempt took 30 minutes. Question 1 2 / 2 pts According to the lectures, a guiding principle for using scripture in counseling is: Christian counselors should use scripture in their counseling but should always ask “in what ways, under what circumstances” prior to quoting scripture. There is no such thing as using Scripture insensitively, since it is the Word of God. Scripture should be used solely to point out our fallenness and selfishness. We should always ask how we can glorify God in a counseling session but never how using Scripture is in the best interest of the client. Question 2 2 / 2 pts Although the lectures emphasized the importance of inside-out change, the lectures also explained the value of outside-in change. What is the function of dislocating experiences in the context of outside-in change? Therapists taking advantage of a “dislocating experience” will primarily help a client feel comfortable with his/her life circumstances. Dislocating experiences are the result of a born-again experience. Dislocating experiences rarely lead to self-analysis. Sometimes a traumatic personal experience can cause a client to look at deeper issues of the heart.

Question 3 2 / 2 pts The lectures talked about several ways that Scripture could be used in counseling. Which of the following are legitimate ways to use Scripture with our clients? From Scripture, we can seek to determine the “why” of our personal experiences. The Bible can be used to help clients see right from wrong and establish moral absolutes. Using the Bible can help us recognize the “big questions” of life. All of these are appropriate ways to use Scripture in counseling. Question 4 2 / 2 pts In the context of the discussion on inside-out/outside-in change, the lecture used the term “condemnation engineering” as an example of a mechanism of outside -in change. What is an example of that mechanism? A therapist confronts sin in the life of the client. A therapist unconditionally accepts a client in spite of the client’s off -putting behavior. A counselor works hard to produce change in the life of a client when the client is “stuck.” A Christian counselor decides that it is inappropriate to condemn any of a client’s behavior.

Question 5 2 / 2 pts The lecture discussed the value of, and some principles for using meditation in Christian counseling. Which of the following statements best corresponds with the lecture content? Christian meditation really helps us get in touch with our inner self. In Christian meditation, we are really changing the pattern from expecting answers to one of patiently waiting on God. Christian meditation primarily helps us focus on God’s beauty in nature, rather than our own problems. Christian meditation helps us to manage our time more wisely. Question 6 2 / 2 pts The lectures talked about specific strategies for using the Bible in counseling. Which of the following would NOT be endorsed based on the lecture discussion? I could use “value - neutral” counseling techniques that may have originated from secular theories. I could use biblical stories that show how greed is harmful. I could use counseling techniques that teach clients how to legitimately get revenge on an abusing spouse. I could talk with my client about general biblical principles even without quoting scripture.

Question 7 2 / 2 pts Some beginning Christian counselors may be tempted to quote a quick verse, or give an easy biblical solution without delving into deeper issues in the life of the client. What caution about using the Bible in counseling might that illustrate? Violating professional identity issues Using the Bible as a smokescreen Coming off as too confident Exhibiting an all-or-nothing approach Question 8 2 / 2 pts As a Christian counselor, I can use the Bible in an anthropological way. What would be an example of that in counseling? I help my client to understand the common struggles of humanity. I help my client see how biblical teaching is consistent with empirical findings in psychology. I show my client where God promises to change lives. I have my client memorize scriptures that point out the truth in Jesus. Question 9
