Exposing the Roots of Modern Psychology
The "Case Against" Albert Ellis
American psychologist Albert Ellis developed rational-emotive behavior therapy in the mid-1950s. Influenced by Alfred Adler's work, Ellis came to regard irrational beliefs and illogical thinking as the major cause of most emotional disturbances. His theory is based largely on changing thoughts and beliefs in order to change emotions and behavior.
The "Case Against" Albert Ellis reviews Reason & Emotion in Psychotherapy and The Case Against Religion. This paper exposes the aggressive atheism underlying rational-emotive behavior therapy.

The Errors of Erik Erikson
Erik Erikson (1902-1994) developed the concept of the "identity crisis," an inevitable conflict that accompanies the growth of a sense of identity in late adolescence.
The paper The Errors of Erik Erikson reviews the "life cycles" and "life crises" proposed by Erikson, exposing the conflict between his theories and the biblical view of man. A special section explores in depth Erikson's psychoanalysis of Reformer Martin Luther in Young Man Luther, a book which basically discredits the entire Protestant Reformation as the expression of one man's "identity crisis."

On Becoming a Christian
Carl R. Rogers (1902-87) founded what is now known as client-centered therapy. This method stresses the relationship between therapist and client and the client's use of this relationship to guide the course of therapy. Rogers's techniques predominate today in psychotherapy in the U.S.
The paper On Becoming a Christian reviews a major work by Rogers. His approach is thoroughly unbiblical in assuming the inherent goodness of man and in its rejection of all authority outside the individual's feelings and experience.

Blasphemy from Fromm
Erich Fromm (1900-1980) is best known for his application of psychoanalytic theory to social and cultural problems.
Blasphemy from Fromm describes how after admitting to being an atheist, Fromm engages in a "radical reinterpretation of the Old Testament," attempting to support his theory that man is the equal of God. Much of his teaching concerning self-love provides ammunition for the numerous selfisms that run rampant today.

Maslow's Hierarchy
Abraham Harold Maslow (1908-70) was a leading exponent of humanistic psychology. He developed a theory of human nature that resulted from the struggle to fulfill a hierarchy of human needs.
The paper Maslow's Hierarchy reviews the religious and philosophical underpinnings of Maslow's "hierarchy," showing not only that his psychology is contrary to Scripture, but that it is internally inconsistent. This paper is more of a philosophical critique analyzing the self-destructive nature of non-Christian thinking.
