Is there a list of resources that are tagged/linked to the Counseling Guide's Monograph section?

Is there a list of resources that are tagged/linked to the Counseling Guide's Monograph section?

I'll see if we can get one posted.

Thanks Phil. Specifically, the June Hunt ones included in the Gold package.

Thank y'all so much for this Counseling Guide. It will be immensely helpful for pastoring.

Is there a way to view an index of all the terms available within the guide?

David De Haan

I'm disappointed with this guide presently because of the very limited results I get after entering a topic. I only see a summary from the Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counselling, only 2-4 Bible passages, and no results of monographs. I do have more than 20 resources related to psychology/counselling. A basic search in my counselling collection of resources is more profitable. I must be doing something wrong but I have no idea what that may be. Any help would be most welcome.

I'd recommend you try a few more of the hundreds of topics: some are richer than others, but for example Anxiety has several related articles from Tim Clinton's resources, along with several relevant passages, links to other Counseling Topics as well as other related information.

We started with a set of practical and broad resources (listed above in this thread), but we're continuing to annotate more: the Baker Encyclopedia is new since I made that list. Many topics should provide at least 1-2 relevant articles, and we've already collected other content around these topics that will be coming soon.

Unfortunately this happens all the time with FL. The tell you they are giving you this great new featur.

Release it with much fanfare and the afterwards after building expectations tell you sorry we’ve only tagged a handful of resources to work with the feature. They put marketing ahead of managing user expectations of what they are getting.

Its thumbs up to Sean and the team for the great work they do in this area but thumbs down to how they communicate these things to users. They have been doing this long enough to no longer pass it off as a communication error. This is a choice to put marketing ahead of other things which is a shame because Logos 9 will be a great product in 6-12 months time.

Thank you Sean. I am delighted to see this feature and believe there is great potential to aid elders in their works of service in their church family. So I eagerly await FL additional annotated resources! Praying blessings for you and team in this work.

Hi Sean,

I own the Baker Encyclopedia of Psychology and Counseling, but I don't see my Counseling Guide linked to this resource in the Monograph section. Am I missing something?

Chaplain Joseph Mayer

At first, I was very interested in the Counseling Guide, but after testing it out with multiple common counseling issues. I am disappointed. I have been counseling for over 13 years. I have invested significantly in Logos over the years, including many of their counseling resources. Only a few of them are coming up in the Counseling Guide. I find many more results by just doing a search in my counseling collection. For example, Anorexia got no journals and one monograph in the guide. My Counseling collection received 387 results in 57 resources.

I have a question. I looked up a subject in the guide, interests me personally, and the summary was excellent. I was not surprised to see anything under monographs as the tagging is ongoing. I am so looking forward to it being fleshed out. My confusion is in the passage section. In the summary section, a specific passage in Leviticus's book is mentioned, and it was right on point. When I opened the passage section, not one verse was listed. I would have thought that if a passage is listed in summary, that, at a minimum, that one passage would be listed in the passage section.

Of course, it could just be me, and I might be totally nuts, but I think that would make sense.

I love the counseling guide's idea, and I have tons of resources that, when properly tagged with, make this a handy tool. But the whole not listing any passages just threw me.

Thanks for the feedback Carla. The summaries come from third-party resources: the Passages section comes from Faithlife. We consulted the annotated resources, but made independent decisions: we're also continuing to look for additional key passages to add to the Passages section (Liz, our curator, managed to come up with one for arachnophobia though it's a little indirect).

Martin Burch

So how can I customize the Guide so that it brings up the resources I prefer? For instance, I am a biblical counselor and have invested heavily in biblical counseling resources, yet the guide brings up none of those and instead defaults to a Christian Psychology resource for definitions, etc. Not trying to spark anything here, just really interested in customizing it for the best use in my particular ministry.

Sean Boisen

Thank y'all so much for this Counseling Guide. It will be immensely helpful for pastoring.

Is there a way to view an index of all the terms available within the guide?

Mason, i've attached a simple rendering of the counseling ontology in an HTML file. Open this with a browser, and you should be able to browse the structure, and the hyperlinks should open the Counseling Guide to the appropriate page. We're still working on the dataset documentation for the Counseling Themes dataset, but we'll probably include something like this in it when that's shipped.

The Guide only displays resources that we've annotated with our counseling themes ontology: for example, that's what maps the Counseling Guide concept of Communication about Money to an article in a resource called "Money Huddles". Probably the ones you prefer haven't yet been annotated. We're working on annotating additional resources and journals, so you should see more resources added in the coming weeks.

Martin Burch

Thanks. I'll keep my eye out for those. It really looks like an awesome resource to utilize.

(Liz, our curator, managed to come up with one for arachnophobia though it's a little indirect).

Excellent choice!

A little bit tongue-in-cheek, but... Gen 7:23, Lev 11:41-43... more seriously: Hos 2:18.

David R. McAllan

Only a few of them are coming up in the Counseling Guide

I agree, I have Jay Adams works, Gary Collins and the Journal of Biblical Counselling and none are coming up. I hope there are plans to expand the guides reach. All in all, Logos has done a great job on L9.

I understand the choice of starting of with June Hunt resources due to their breadth in order to kick it off. These was a Chaplains base package that was available a number of years ago built around this set. But agree with you both that Jay Adams and Gary Collins are no-brainers in terms of individuals whose writings need to be grafted with urgency into this guide if FL want to target writings n this field are known and respected. And the Journal of Biblical Counselling is another one of those resources that just has to be there. Lots of the target audience will have this through the journal bundles they have picked over the years or because they work in this field and will have it so it's not lilke very few people would have it in their libraries who are either pastors or working in counselling.
