Episode notes
Psychology's Materialist Foundations
- Modern psychological theory is rooted in atheism, naturalism, and materialism rather than biblical theism.
- Warren Lamb argues these foundations contradict core Christian doctrines and change how problems are framed.
Begin Counseling With Scripture
- Start and end with Scripture when counseling; let God's Word define problems and solutions.
- If you call something a disease you send someone to a doctor; call it bondage to sin and call them to a Savior.
DSM Claims Versus Medical Evidence
- The DSM-5 classifications are products of committee decisions, not double-blind empirical findings.
- Lamb claims many psychiatric labels lack the medical-type empirical tests required for biological diseases.
