Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page paper that discusses the various concerns of the
Christian counselor. Method used by traditional researchers and psychologists are
discussed. In addition we compare these strategies to the counseling techniques of Jesus
who was perhaps, the greatest counselor ever in existence. Unfortunately, due to Jesus’
unique spiritual existence, we can never hope to truly understand his techniques nor his
level of understanding and compassion. We can only use his examples as guides in
treating people with respect and understanding that each and every individual sees their
life, and life in general, as very different. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

are phenomenological and existential concerns. According to Amedeo Giorgi, as provided in a fax by the student, the characteristics of a phenomenological approach are important to understand: "to the average
psychologist, to do research means to perform an experiment, and to perform an experiment means to follow the methods and procedures that have been established by the naturals sciences. It
is this automatic chain of associations that must be broken. Since it is one of the characteristic of the phenomenological approach to investigate the foundational aspects of phenomena, the phenomenological
psychologist begins by asking the following questions: Why does one do an experiment? Why does a scientist engage in research? Are doing research and conducting an experiment identical activities?" (17-18).
The examination above is very important in that it illustrates how involved this approach is. It deals with the experiences of an individual that make them unique. These experiences and
