This research compares the Biblical counseling developed and proposed by Jay Edward Adams and the Analytic Psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. According to Jay Adams, in order to be Biblical, the counseling must be Nouthetic, word transliterated from Greek and which is related to confrontation and exhortation. This is the main idea of Jay Adams counseling: confrontation of personal sin in the life of the person who has been counseled. As it is said by the author, there are not the words neurosis and psychosis , they are something that science created, behind all not organic disease there is a personal sin which must be confronted so as to have the repentance, or, to change the behavior. In the same way, John MacArthur Jr. developed his Biblical counseling establishing a substantial division between Psychology and Counseling, position that all Christians, compromised with the Bible, have to take. However, the life of Jung is opposed to this idea. He, who founded the field of Analytic Psychology, declares to be protestant and protector of the Christian faithfulness. Therefore, there are two positions of Christians on Psychology and, consequently, a theological and psychological analysis of Biblical Counseling in the last chapter. Thus, for the theological analysis, there are two main points: first, the Biblical counselors who follow Jay Adams thoughts and who indicate, in a way out of proportion, the God s special Revelation and with a reduction of the General Revelation importance, not taking into consideration that God gives intellectual capacity, using common recognition, for all human beings; second, the Biblical counselors state that the Bible is a counseling manual par excellence, although, It does not take some themes of mental disorders, but establishes thoughts categories so as the humanity, agreeing with the Bible, help his or her Brother. The psychological analysis indicates only one point: the definition of mental disease of the Biblical counseling, since it is the principal possibility, as a helpful device, will determine the position of someone in relation to Psychology. Jung asserts that the mental equilibrium is established in a healthy relation between conscious and unconsciousness, since it is essential to mental health in order to know and understand unconscious aspects of personality, a constructive attitude for the future.
