- Abstract
- Traditional Christians are struggling to hold fast to a biblical perspective on the issue of homosexuality. The situation is complicated as individuals come to know, through work or school, people who display homosexual behaviors. The struggle comes as the result of two conflicting ideas: the biblical teachings opposing homosexual activity and the relational experiences connecting people together. As a result, severe stress comes when a member of a traditional Christian family announces they are homosexual. This thesis seeks to demonstrate an approach to counseling families in distress that is both biblically sound and psychologically effective. The approach will be integrative, applying a theologically supported, structural relations oriented approach looking at the context of the family. It will also apply a psychoeducational approach to help the family reframe their situation from a biblical/theological perspective and an attachment theory approach in helping the family to balance their need for attachment and individuation.
