Critique of Two Theories: Nouthetic Counseling Vs. Misbelief Therapy Sandra Hanford Liberty University Summary Dr. Adams (1986) opens his book, How To Help People Change, by stating that all counselors agree on “the aim of counseling is to change people” (p. xi). The main difference is the question is what the people are supposed to change into. Each theorist has a different answer to that question.

They are as follows; teaching, conviction, correction, and disciplined training in righteousness. He feels that the client must be first taught the gospel, and then become convicted of their sin to the point of repentance.
