The following is a classic discussion from Dr. Mike Emlet on how to begin to understand people as body and soul, and how wise love is sensitive to both. He begins with a few minutes on how to understand psychiatric diagnoses, and then broadens to discuss people as embodied souls and how that understanding informs thoughtful ministry.
This was one of the first resources I found from CCEF on the topic, and it helpfully shaped how I understood myself and others. At about thirty minutes long, it is perfect for listening through in a single sitting.
Further resources on this topic: I recommend both the 2011 National Conference audio, which examines these topics in detail, and Mike Emlet’s counseling course, Counseling & Physiology. Both expand the issues he lays out in the above discussion.
