Understanding Mental Health: A Journey Through Phenomenology with Dr. Berger and Dr. Shaw

If this is a heart issue and a flesh issue, the bible describes that this is a biblical issue and no matter how you want to spin it, it's either accepting the authority- epistemology again- of god's word, or the authority of rush and others like him.
Ever wondered how the field of mental health has evolved over the years? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Daniel Berger and Dr. Mark E. Shaw take you on an enlightening journey through the history and phenomenology of mental health. They start by breaking down complex terms like epistemology and phenomenology, making them accessible and relevant to everyday life. Dr.
Berger, a Pastor and Founder of Alethia International Ministries, shares his insights on the medicalization of behavioral issues, emphasizing the importance of understanding the heart behind the issues. The conversation also delves into the historical figures like Dr. Asperger and Dr. Alzheimer, shedding light on their contributions and the impact of their work on today's mental health practices.
But it's not just about history; the episode also explores how biblical counseling offers a unique perspective on treating mental health issues, contrasting it with traditional therapies. They touch on the role of politics in shaping mental health policies and discuss the dark history of eugenics in the neo-Kraepelinian mental health system. If you're curious about how faith intersects with mental health or simply want to understand more about the history behind current practices, this episode is a must-listen.
