About this book
Assessment in counselingālike its biblical counterpart, discernmentāis an ongoing and dynamic routine to encourage movement in a productive direction toward what is truly best.

Greggo charts a course for care that brings best practices of the profession together with practices of Christian discipleship.Key topics include:

- Can clinical proficiency in assessment bring glory to God?
- How can the crucial psychometric construct of validity be translated into our Christian faith?

- How can counselors maximize the benefits of a therapeutic alliance to attend to immediate concerns and foster spiritual formation?
- How can formal personality measures add depth and substance to the counseling experience?
