A Review of Chapters Eight through Twelve of Joyzy Pius Egunjobi’s Book, Psycho-Spiritual Therapy: Theory and Practice

This novice academic’s assessment examines Chapters 8–12 of Psycho-Spiritual Therapy: Theory and Practice by Joyzy Pius Egunjobi (2024), highlighting the model’s core framework, therapist competencies, counselling structure, and spiritually informed techniques. Central to the text is the biopsychosociotechno-spiritual paradigm, which expands traditional therapeutic models by integrating spiritual and technological dimensions. The review situates Egunjobi’s contribution within African and multicultural counselling contexts, drawing parallels with global literature on spiritually integrated psychotherapy. Strengths include cultural relevance and conceptual innovation, though the model would benefit from further empirical validation and inclusive training guidelines. Reflections address the marginalization of Christian practices in mainstream counselling and call for broader recognition of faith-based techniques in secular curricula.
