In this post I will begin a brief series of posts on John Street, the Head of Counseling at The Master's University and Seminary (TMUS), which is attached to Crace Community Church, Sun Valley, California, USA, pastored by John MacArthur.
John Street critizes secular and "integrationist counseling," which combines psychology and biblical principles, for focusing on physical safety of abused persons as a primary goal.
He is, furthermore, critical of domestic shelters, which teach women to set boundaries. Street calls this approach "assertiveness training." According to him, boundaries can exacerbate the cycle of abuse.
My Comment
Domestic shelters have been safe places for many women and their children to protect them from abusive husbands.
