Review

"This revised edition of Modern Psychopathologies will be a very useful text for courses in diagnosis and psychopathology in Christian institutions as well as an excellent resource for Christian students enrolled in secular schools. I appreciate the care the authors have taken to place contemporary conceptualizations of psychopathology within the historical context of pastoral care and current church ministry, as well as to incorporate discussion of theological concepts such as the role of sin and suffering. Their organization of the material around DSM-5 categories will help students better understand this diagnostic system, while their critiques of DSM-5 will help enable students to understand both its benefits and limitations."

-- Heather Davediuk Gingrich, professor of counseling, Denver Seminary

"This second edition of Modern Psychopathologies continues to be a substantial contribution to the integration literature, with distinctively Christian perspectives on pastoral care, sin, and psychopathology. I highly recommend this clearly written and comprehensive book as an integrative text for courses on psychopathology as well as on integration."

-- Siang-Yang Tan, professor of psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary, author of Counseling and Psychotherapy

"The second edition of this seminal work includes helpful information regarding diagnostic changes, both large and small, in DSM-5. The authors remain committed to a holistic understanding of human suffering―an approach that seeks to stimulate conversations about the complicated connections among the spiritual, psychological, religious, and secular notions of human dysfunction. Especially helpful is their concluding chapter on responsible care in an imperfect system. Students of abnormal psychology and the art of diagnosis will benefit from this useful and readable text."

-- James R. Beck, senior professor of counseling, Denver Seminary

"Integrating faith with science is a significant undertaking in Christian higher education. As one who teaches Introduction to Psychopathology to beginning clinical psychology doctoral students in a faith-based program, I am consistently searching for tools to assist in the process of integration. I was summarily impressed with the first edition of this book, having used it for several years. I am excited to endorse this second edition, which brings the text up to date with current diagnostic organization and nomenclature in the DSM-5. The authors make integration explicit, sharing connections between historical faith traditions, current faith practices and understanding, and the latest scientific evidence from psychopathology. They outline general frameworks for understanding psychopathology from scriptural, pastoral, and scientific lenses. They then move to nuanced exploration of specific groupings of disorders, maintaining this multiple-lens approach. This allows for the reader to consider pathology from various perspectives and begin the process of integration. I have not found a better tool for assisting students with integration around issues of psychopathology. I highly recommend this text."

-- David M. Cimbora, professor and associate dean of doctoral programs, Rosemead School of Psychology, Biola University

"This book provides Christians in the helping professions with a solid scaffolding for integrating Christian doctrine and practice with psychopathology. The authors deal masterfully with the thorny and complex problem of the relationship between sin and psychopathology as well as the related issue of responsibility. This book combines the best and most recent advances in the understanding of psychopathology with the richness of Christian thought on human suffering, helping to create a vision for a Christian response that moves beyond symptom reduction to flourishing. I highly recommend this book to pastors and therapists seeking to more thoughtfully address human brokenness in all its varieties."

-- M. Elizabeth Lewis Hall, professor of psychology, Rosemead School of Psychology, Biola University

"Finally! A comprehensive Christian perspective on abnormal psychology. This book is grounded, insightful, biblical, practical, accessible―and long overdue. Everyone interested in exploring psychopathology from a Christian worldview will relish reading this updated edition of the book."

-- Les Parrott, department of psychology, Seattle Pacific University, author of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts

"Books on psychopathology are a dime a dozen. However, no other volume takes into consideration the centuries-old tradition of the treatment of the mentally ill by priests and pastors as well as carefully thought-out applied theologies relating sin to human frailty. When these considerations are combined with a definitive survey of contemporary theory and research, we have a seminal volume that will be a standard for years to come. I cannot think of a volume that better balances tradition with practice."

-- H. Newton Malony, MDiv, Ph.D., Senior Professor, Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Over the past century, the church and the behavioral sciences have sometimes been at odds over the causes and treatments of mental disorders. This work offers a well-reasoned rapprochement that takes seriously the long tradition of pastoral care and counseling within the church as well as the increasing body of knowledge being amassed in the biopsychosocial sciences."

-- Randolph K. Sanders, PhD, Clinical Psychologist and former Executive Director of Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS)

Title: Great book with a Christian perspective!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019
Review: Very well written about psychopathologies and has the additional information using a Christian perspective. Had to buy it for my psychopathology class, and it's my favorite book in that class.

Title: Stands out amongst other books on the subject.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019
Review: This book covers the subject both from a philosophical viewpoint (what is mental illness?) and gets into technical specifics (delineates the types of schizophrenia). It also manages to cover a tough subject in a way that is readable.

Title: A Christian book, not real science
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018
Review: This book is deceptive. It appears to be a book based on psychology; however, it's got too much Christianity, theology, and moralizing in it to be taken seriously! It’s going to promote LGBTQ propaganda! Don’t buy it if you don’t want concepts that aren’t based science and come from the dark ages!

Title: This is a volume that both pastors and clinicians will enjoy and use often!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016
Review: Modern Psychopathologies: A Comprehensive Christian Appraisal (second edition) by Barrett W. McRay, Mark A. Yarhouse, and Richard E. Butman brings together the most recent and up-to-date material in psychopathology, and presents it to the reader in as an ideal point of reference for both pastors and clinicians. This second edition builds upon the effectiveness and success of the former edition, while at the same time aligning the content with the most recent editions of the standard references in the field of psychopathology (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM-5] and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems [ICD-10]). This is a full volume that is both sensitive and informative to issues that color the increasingly relevant world of mental disorders.

Like the first edition, this second edition of Modern Psychopathologies is divided into three major sections. The first section tackles the issues related to “Christian” psychopathology. This section provides a basis for recognizing the placement of psychopathologies in the history of pastoral care, classification of mental disorders, and the relationship between sin and psychopathology in the Christian worldview. This section is absolutely imperative to the reader approaching this volume for assistance from a Christian perspective. The second section comprises the bulk of the book and will function as the most used section for most readers. It is here that classifications of psychopathologies are discussed in detail, including problems in childhood and adolescence, anxiety, the development of self, problems of arising from trauma, sexuality and gender, addiction, and more. This section does well in equipping the reader with the “nuts and bolts” of each classification and provides excellent suggestions on pastoral care. The final section is comprised of a single chapter that functions to cast a forward vision for the study of psychopathology in a world plagued with imperfection, but also redeemable in Christ.

I would consider myself to be no more than an interested bystander to the conversations in this book. That said I am hard pressed to critically engage with the content of this book from the perspective of psychopathology. I simply have to nod and agree with those that have devoted their lives to such pursuits. Nevertheless, I would consider myself equipped to analyze the worldview implications of such conclusions, especially for a volume that claims to be a “comprehensive Christian appraisal.” As a layman it is here that I found the most benefit of this volume. It was easy to read, interesting, informative, faithfully balanced, and sensitive to the end user. Moreover, the organization of the volume is perfectly situated to achieve the authors’ goal. As an integrated approach, Modern Psychopathologies is clearly written, expertly informed, and unashamedly biblical.

This is a volume that both pastors and clinicians will enjoy and use often. If you are either, and you are looking for an up-to-date evaluation of this increasingly relevant field of study from a Christian perspective, Modern Psychopathologies: A Comprehensive Christian Appraisal (second edition) by Barrett W. McRay, Mark A. Yarhouse, and Richard E. Butman is the first, and maybe even the only volume you will need. It comes highly recommended!
