Theory Critique - Crabb and Hawkins Rose Monk COUN 507 Liberty University Dr. Hunter November 3, 2013 Concise Summary of Theories Larry Crabb’s model for Christian counselors is based on Christian values and includes secular principles that are consistent with Scripture. Plain and simple this theory works to create a receptive mind for the truth.

In many different ways, however, one way stands out the most and that is his ability to organize the information and make easy for the reader to understand the material.

Christ Centered Cognitive Therapy Dennis Stoneman Liberty University Abstract This paper will address a more personal evaluation of psychotherapy theories, and techniques as they apply to what God is calling me to be as a counselor.
