Anyone familiar with Jay Adams and his fundamental books on counseling will welcome this volume. The first edition appeared ten years after Adams first coined the term nouthetic at a time when he concluded it was time to “take stock, to straighten out misunderstandings, and to look to the future.” That short book comprises the first section of this volume.
Thirty years later, Adams concluded it was time to once again address questions about Nouthetic counseling, so he wrote Adams Answers to address questions from counselors, counselees, and critics. That book was never published-until now and comprises the second section of this new edition. The editor has added a third section to address questions that are often asked still, even after Dr. Adams’ death in 2020.
This book is a useful introduction to Nouthetic counseling for those to whom the term is new, a needed correction for those who have been taught a caricature of both the man and the movement, and an encouraging overview for those who have come to love and appreciate all they have learned from Dr. Adams.
