AB - This paper intends to study the Christian counseling process. In order to develop Christian counseling, counseling process as well as theories has to be much more apparent and really put to use. First, pointing out that the Christian counseling process has a lot in common with general counseling process, we analyze the usual contents to be accepted in those processes. We obtain the general flow and frame of the process by studying main textbooks for practicing and training. Second, although it has a surface similarity to the other processes, Christian counseling process has some different factors in prerequisite and attitude. The real differences of the counseling practices are caused not only by theories, but also the biblical viewpoints on main topics. Christian counseling has a biblical stand on human beings, psychopathology, diagnostic criteria, aim of recovery, etc., as most counseling practices already have idealogical foundations. Moreover, it is important for the Christian counselors who have Christian personality and spirituality to have servant attitude in counseling and clients. Third, we clarify its specific approaches in relationship, exploration, assessment, and intervention. We suggest several spiritual resources and furthermore apply biblical counseling and a few spiritual approaches. Christian counseling will stand firm when the actual counseling process is practiced and trained on the base of Christian approach.
