This book traces the history of these methods, focusing on the major proponents of each therapeutic system while also examining mainstream evangelical psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The author concludes that in the majority of cases mental disorders are blamed on two main issues--sin and demonic possession\/oppression--and that as a result some communities have become a mental health underclass who are ill-served or oppressed by both alternative and mainstream evangelical therapeutic systems. He argues that the only recourse left for mentally ill, female and LGBT evangelicals is to rally for reform and increased accountability for both professional and alternative evangelical practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Weaver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786495944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786495948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"John Weaver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075423301887,"sku":"9780786495948","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75c3715f-85c2-42d8-a37c-8550a25b9e71.jpg?v=1685459332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-failure-of-evangelical-mental-john-weaver-9780786495948","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
