Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
If you study the teachings and words of Jesus, you'll find that Jesus consistently acknowledged the psychological dimension of human beings.  Even though I've been writing quarterly magazine articles integrating psychological and spiritual principles in a Catholic magazine for nearly 15 years, most of my upbringing has involved evangelical churches.  Based on my experience in evangelical churches, there is a lot of spiritual abuse that goes on in the name of Christianity by those who refuse to appeciate or acknowledge the psychological dimension of human beings.  This causes existing psychological problems among members to worsen in ways that are often quite tragic.   More training needs to be done for clergy that helps them recognize mental illness, and teaches them when to refer to mental health professionals.
