Overview

Missions & PsychoHeresy is primarily about the prolific practice of using mental health professionals and psychological tests to evaluate missionary candidates and to provide psychological care for missionaries. This focus of concern is appropriate wherever the psychoexperts vend their wares and services.In this volume the mental health professionals' false facade of expertise for screening missionary candidates and caring for missionaries is exposed and the myths that surround the psychological testing used on these hapless men and women are exploded.Only a few ways in which psychoheresy has invaded missions are examined, but these are clear and objective facts. They reveal the obvious use of psychology in both evaluating missionary candidates and providing treatment for missionaries experiencing problems of living.In giving psychology such a place in selecting missionary candidates and in providing treatment of missionaries, mission agencies clearly demonstrate their trust in psychologists and psychological devices and their veneration of the psychological wisdom of men, which is the very wisdom of men that God warns us about.
