"The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught." Isaiah 50:4 (NIV)

This theme verse highlights our Psychology Department's assumption that God's Word provides the framework for our view of personal pain. We actively integrate our Christian faith into the practical, theoretical, and applied areas of psychology.

Practical integration of scripture and psychology is of highest importance in the Psychology major. What do Sigmund Freud, Carl Rogers, B.F. Skinner, and Carl Jung have to do with a Christian understanding of human mental and emotional processes? What counseling models and approaches are proper for the Christian counselor? You'll tackle and answer these and many other relevant questions in your four years as a psychology major.

We at Bryan are not associated with a specific "brand" of psychology. However, our program emphasizes the counseling areas of psychology with two specific courses in counseling, theories, and techniques.

Sincerely,
Dr. Steve Bradshaw
Psychology Department Head
