Healing for the City: Counseling in the Urban Setting
Overview
Healing for the City is a counseling manual designed for urban residents, both Christian and non-Christian. It focuses on the brokenness and problems of city life without assuming that all who live in the city suffer from serious dysfunctions. Craig Ellison and Ed Mynard offer practical guidance for those who have become victims of the emotional, relational, and spiritual distress often found in the city.
