by Jay E. Adams (Author)

Effective biblical counseling requires more than compassion and biblical knowledge-it requires discernment. Counselors are regularly confronted with these quesstions about his counselees:

  • What presuppositions has he embraced before entering the counseling room?
  • Is he understanding what you are teaching?
  • Is he equipped to do the homework that you've assigned?
  • Is he really sincere in his stated desire to change?
  • Is his repentance genuine?
  • Is he trying to manipulate you or others?
God tested Abraham. Jesus tested the rich young ruler. Jay Adams suggests that you do the same with your counselee. In Putting Counselees to the Test he has given us a practical guide to discernment in the counseling room.

For Adams, testing is not done to assign a grade to your counselee. It is done to understand how counseling is progressing and to point the counselor in a loving and effective way forward.
