A largely American movement to integrate the theory and praxis of psychology with Christian theology and praxis. Integration is concerned both with taking a theological perspective on psychological topics, such as personality, family relationships, emotionality, human development, pathology or assessment; and with taking a psychological perspective of a religious nature, such as spiritual numbness, church conflicts, missionary selection, or interpersonal tensions. Different researchers in the field disagree as to what degree such an integration is appropriate, and if so, which discipline should take precedence, if either.
