This introduction to psychology has been devised for those training for and working in the clergy. Ideal both as a professional handbook and a textbook, it covers social, developmental, educational, occupational and counselling psychology, as well as the psychology of religion. It carefully considers the processes of personal change and growth central to religion.

'For those seeking to discover what help the discipline of psychology can provide for those engaged in Christian ministry, this is an excellent and long overdue starting place.' - Vaughan S. Roberts, Reviews in Religion and Theology
