Psychology and biblical teachings have historically been considered opposites of each other. Regardless, there are still Christian counselors or therapists who use (or in some sense have to use) techniques that come from psychological theories. The key here is to evaluate these psychological theories using Bible truth as your guide. This will help determine what might be beneficial to use in certain situations and what will be contrary to God. Considering that psychology is such a broad field, a Christian counselor will need to research many varieties of these psychological theories. The purpose of this essay is to examine and decide which psychological theory for counseling coincides with or opposes a Christian worldview. The two theories that will be discussed and examined as to how it relates to a Christian worldview are psychoanalytic theory and Adlerian theory. The founders of both of these theories have different views of human nature and I will not only give my opinion on them, but also discuss how they coincide with or oppose a Christian worldview. In this essay I have decided that Sigmund Freud's theory, Psychoanalytic Theory, is the least congruent with a Christian worldview.

Some concepts of this theory seem useful to describe the depravity of humanity and to explain man's disorder or confusion, but the solution of this theory is not correct. Psychological health cannot be achieved simply by reliving the past. If you look at this theory using a Christian worldview, freedom does not come from achieving self-awareness… it comes through Christ. “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32) Freud's perspective in this theory is very self-centered and the importance of loving others is minimal. The importance of loving others is something necessary for the spiritual health of a Christian. «I give you a new commandment: that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you too must love one
