Nouthetic counseling
Adams began to publish and speak about his psychological theories in 1970, giving them the name nouthetic counseling. The need for Nouthetic counseling was based on 3 points: (1) modern psychological theories were bad theology, (2) psychotherapeutic professions were a false pastorate, (3) the Bible already instructed pastors in the ways needed to counsel.[2]
