TheoPhostic Counseling: Divine Revelation? or Psycho Heresy?

The Bobgans demonstrate that TheoPhostic counseling is the result of many existent psychological therapies, including psychoanalytic, Eye Movement Desinsitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive-behavioral therapies. They also show that it includes dangerous elements from the inner healing movement, such as guided imagery, visualization, and hypnosis. They present their concerns about this form of counseling and concluded that it originated from the perverted wisdom of men rather than from the mind of God.

With his numerous testimonies of cure, Smith's system is gaining in popularity among Christians.
