Work planI. IntroductionA comprehensive Christian theory of counseling integrates the disciplines of theology, psychology, and scripture. In providing a holistic approach to counseling individuals, it is prudent to examine the mind, body, soul, temporal systems, and supernatural systems, in which all influence the person. A more comprehensive plan of care can be offered when contributions from psychology and theology are offered. “The best interdisciplinary integration work generally comes from those with formal or informal preparation in psychology and theology” (McMinn, 2011, p. 9). By virtue of prioritizing Scripture as it is infallible and has all authority as well as multi-tasking, Christian counselors can integrate these three disciplines into an effective strategy to assist counselees in healthy life change. However, “psychology must be subject to the authority of Scripture” (Crabb, 1977, p. 49). There is a danger in this view, in placing one's faith in another's interpretation of Scripture rather than in Scripture itself. Nevertheless, there is a way to counter this problem, McMinn (2011) argues: “properly designed intradisciplinary integration flows from a deep appreciation of theology and deep personal transformation brought about by a life in Christ” ( p.30). Personal transformation, through the work of the Holy Spirit, offers protection against abuse, self-deception, and misunderstanding.II. What are the aspects of understanding human personality?A.

Conclusion The integration of psychology, spirituality and theology allows the counselor to take into account all components of the counselee's behavior during the evaluation. Psychology offers empirically proven theories and techniques. Spirituality produces a desire for change, a thirst for hope and a need for guidance. Theology is the sieve through which psychological theories and techniques must be sifted to verify Christian presuppositions (Crabb, 1977). In the art of multitasking, the guidance of the Holy Spirit is necessary, for it is the Holy Spirit who draws the human heart to Christ (John 6:44).
