No I must disagree. Psychology, is the study of the soul, mind. Psychiatry is the study of the combined actions of behavior and well-being, as well as the structure of the brain. i.e. Psychology practically is the study of human behavior. Psychiatry is the study of the effects of pharmaceuticals on human behavior. So the study of Christian psychology is the combination of human understanding of human behavior and the Christian label. Because just as certain groups have abdicated the authority of scripture on the study of the physical world, the 'Christian' psychology proponents are also abdicating the authority of scripture on human behavior.

I know you're not suggesting that modern psychology bypasses the brain?
