Liberty Faith Integration Counseling Exam
According to Entwistle, the Enemies model of integration (Christian Combatants
subtype) asserts that: - ANS-Christians opposed to any integration of scientific and
philosophical psychology with Christian counseling. Scripture stands above creation as
an area for exploration and learning
According to Entwistle, the Enemies model of integration (Secular Combatants subtype)
asserts that: - ANS-Scientific thinking is incompatible with religious belief 1) A Secular
Combatant believes in psychology and science, but rejects Christianity. Example:
Freud, Ellis, famous atheists. Freud: religion is neurosis, Mechanistic physiology, human
rationality, scientific method, 2) Religion is infantile need that can be supplanted by
science and truth
According to Entwistle, the Neutral Parties model (also known as the Levels of
Explanation model) asserts that: - ANS-"Pastors handle spiritual problems and mental
health professionals handle emotional problems" That psychology and theology are
different topics and are to be handled differently!
According to Entwistle, which model asserts that "All truth is God's truth"? - ANS-Allies
What is one difference between Entwistle's Spies model and his Colonialists model
regarding theology? - ANS-Spies: Psychological content from a religious system is
extracted for mental health purposes. NO OR LIBERAL LOOSE ALLEGIANCE IS
MADE TO CORE THEOLOGY of the religion is present. Or, conservative theology is
present but not fully expounded on. More emphasis on the psychological (self-esteem,
etc.) or financial benefit than doctrine. Colonialists: Borrow selective findings from
psychology, ADHERE TO CONSERVATIVE THEOLOGY, Little interaction with
psychological research methodologies, Research findings extracted or rejected
contingent on the purposes of the colonialist
Which of Entwistle's models emphasizes God's Word over God's Works -
ANS-Colonialists: This is a hierarchical model that places the book of God's Word over
the book of God's Works, and theology over psychology. It often results in psychological
findings being accepted or rejected based on scattered scriptural proof-texting, with
inadequate exegesis and insufficient attention to psychological data or methods
Consider this definition: The integration of psychology and Christianity is a multifaceted
attempt to discern the underlying truths about the nature and functioning of human
, beings from the unique vantage points of psychology (in its various sub-disciplines,
utilizing diverse methodologies) and Christianity (in theology, faith, and practice). Which
of Entwistle's models best fits this definition? - ANS-ALLIES MODEL
According to Entwistle, an epistemological assumption made by the Enemies model
(Christian Combatants version) is that: (know all the assumptions - ANS-1) Scripture is
the standard of all faith and practice - contains all information relevant to psychological
health 2) Use of psychology is essentially idolatrous 3) Psychology and Christianity
have been enemies since the beginning 4) Care of the soul belongs solely to the
church, and psychology is a mere trespasser in its territory 5) Scripture can effectively
function as a psychology text Scripture stands above creation as an area for exploration
and learning i.e., in God's two books, the Bible is emphasized and creation (through
science) is not (hint)
Many who subscribe to the Enemies model (Christian Combatants version) believe that
counseling is the church's responsibility and should not be done by _______________:
- ANS-UNBELIEVERS Psychiatrists or psychologists
Psychology and theology both use this methodology in their disciplines: - ANS-Rational
Inquiry
According to Entwistle, an integration problem for both scientists and theologians is: -
ANS-Scientists have only marginal knowledge of theology and Theologians have
minimal knowledge of science so there is a need for integration enthusiasts to develop a
dual-disciplinary expertise
Consider the following: Psychology highlights the awareness of multiple determinants of
behavior (genetics, social environment, reinforcement history, etc.). This might help us
understand why one individual struggles with certain sins while the same sins are not
tempting for another individual. Then too, theology reminds us of the pervasiveness of
sin and that while each individual may struggle with different types of sin, we all struggle
with sin in some form. This example of the interaction between psychology and theology
interaction illustrates which model? - ANS-ALLIES--- Psychology highlights the
awareness of multiple determinants of behavior (genetics, social environment,
reinforcement history, etc.). This might help us understand why one individual struggles
with certain sins while the same sins are not tempting for another individual. Then too,
theology reminds us of the pervasiveness of sin and that while each individual may
struggle with different types of sin, we all struggle with sin in some form.
