Top Highlights
“The counselor must vigorously pursue dealing with these parental failures. They do not excuse the counselee’s sin but are factors for which parental responsibility must not be minimized. The counselee’s parents are her best counselors, but until they have built involvement and a biblical relationship with her, she will ignore their attempts, especially if she sees more concern for themselves than for her in those attempts. There should be only one counselor until the parents are saying the same thing as the counselor.” (Page 28)
