Written in straightforward and accessible language, this is the minister's one-stop guide to understanding common mental health problems, helping parishioners who struggle with them, and thinking strategically about whether to refer -and if so, to whom. This updated edition is fully aligned with the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) and the most current evidence-based psychological treatments. This third edition infuses significant attention to culture and diversity, with diverse case examples and fresh content on cultural humility, diagnostic interviewing, assessment, sociocultural contributors to mental health disorders, such as religious community, race, and gender. The third edition also includes coverage of more treatment strategies such as mindfulness, medical cannabis, and light therapy for seasonal depression, as well as revised sections and updated references on major psychological disorders and childhood and relationship problems, including gender dysphoria, binge eating disorder, and intellectual disabilities.
Written with deep empathy for the demands of contemporary pastoring, this guide is destined to become an indispensable reference work for busy clergy in all ministry roles and settings.

"The Minister's Guide to Psychological Disorders and Treatments, Third Edition, is unequivocally the best book on essential concerns posed by common psychiatric disorders that I've ever read. Authors W. Brad Johnson and William L. Johnson jam-packed their book with wisdom reaching far beyond a typical textbook. Their chapter on ministerial triage is priceless for institutional chaplains and parish clergy. The entire book is extremely practical in addressing, with insight and compassion, what I've witnessed as a professional chaplain for over thirty years. I wish I had this powerful resource in my earlier years as a chaplain. As a faculty member, this book is on the required reading list for every course I teach on chaplaincy. Every chaplain and parish clergy needs a copy. Their words and wisdom are incredibly useful for any minister but utterly indispensable for the practicing chaplain."

Brad Johnson and William Johnson have provided an accessible, timely, relevant resource for pastoral counselors that are tasked with guiding their parishioners toward health and healing. As mental health awareness and reduction of stigmatization of mental health concerns advances in faith communities, parishioners complex mental health needs will more readily be revealed in pastoral care encounters.

This text will serve those in pastoral counseling well and will function as an often utilized tool in their pastoral counseling library."
