Society of Christian Psychology Division

Society for Christian Psychology 

The Society for Christian Psychology is designed to train those in the foundational principles of Christian psychology and give academics in psychology and practicing clinicians a voice in the development of the profession. The Society exists to promote the development of distinctly Christian psychology (including theory, research, and practice) with an approach fundamentally shaped by the Christian Scriptures and Christian thinking, practice, and research in the past and present. It will also be informed by other psychologies, including the dominant approach today: modern psychology. However, this modern version has been profoundly shaped by naturalism and secularism so that its interpretations are accordingly distorted, requiring that it be carefully reinterpreted in light of a Christian worldview.

AACC Divisional Membership (AACC membership required)

Society of Christian Psychology 

The need for theologically-sound, biblically-rooted research and clinical practice is central to the mission of Christian counselors and therapists. The Society for Christian Psychology (SCP) exists to promote the development of a distinctly Christian psychology—one that is shaped by Scripture and the rich history of Christian thought, practice, and spiritual formation.

SCP provides a space for psychologists, counselors, academics, and practitioners to come together around a shared vision of human nature grounded in a Christian worldview. While it remains informed by modern psychology, SCP critically engages contemporary approaches through a biblical lens, challenging assumptions shaped by naturalism and secularism.

If you’re passionate about exploring theory, research, and practice that reflect Christ-centered values, join us for this networking session. It’s a great opportunity to connect with others who share a commitment to integrating faith and psychology in thoughtful, transformative ways.
