IN THE EMPIRE STATE OF NEW YORK, ONE IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A MINDSET OF RISING ABOVE THE FRAY ON A DAILY BASIS: THINKING MORE CLEARLY, FEELING MORE CONFIDENTLY, AND ACTING MORE BOLDLY AS INEVITABLE CHALLENGES (AND CHALLENGERS!) ARISE. WHILE TRUE FOR ALL TOP-PERFORMERS, THIS IS PERHAPS EVEN MORE CRITICAL FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY ANSWER TO A HIGHER POWER.New York State of Mind is an instructional book series from the desk of a Christian licensed to counsel. It is offered as a foundational reference guide for those who are interested in how to care for those in the most demanding of environments (i.e., New York). It could have just as easily been titled “Empire State of Mind” to be generalized for those licensed to practice in other jurisdictions; encouraging all Christians who are motivated to act congruently to their personal birthrights as natives of the kingdom/empire of God while practicing within the clinical context of any secularized state in the Union. The first volumeis a set of essays and functional tools to guide you, the Christian counselor in Clinical Formation and Implementation. Whether you are in the middle of your academic training, have graduated but are still in the starting stages of establishing your professional identity, or have many years in practice and are seeking to be refreshed, this book will give you the opportunity to reflect upon and reposition yourself in light of your Christian presuppositions. This begins with considering what first drew one into the helping profession in the first place or what one hopes to accomplish and be known for (as we as what to not be known for), this book is a practical read that begs to be implemented. It will shape you as a person confessing your faith not simply with words or speech, but in the research you choose to implement, the research you yourself propose, and the research you yourself conduct. It will also give you the opportunity to practice what you preach (either at church or home) in the experimental group counseling laboratory, in order to generate the practice-based evidence that can responsibly build not just a kingdom but an empire of God within Empire State rules and regulations.These will give you the opportunity to practice what you may already preach either at church or home. All that is required is for you to be open to picking up this book series and doing one’s own personal work as a professional! For biblical clinicians, the outcome can be a group practice or community clinic that can responsibly build not just a kingdom but an empire of God within Empire State rules and regulations.Dr. Ronnie Eng is a Christian licensed to counsel both biblically and effectively within state guidelines. A native New Yorker who has lived in the apogee of luxury (Upper Eastside, Park Slope, etc.) as well as the nadir of concrete jungle (Harlem, Bed-Stuy, etc.), Dr. Eng is a research-practitioner naturally motivated to supervise clinicians in the care of high-performers; particularly those students, counselors/pastors, and industry executives striving to go above and beyond the expectations of the world while overcoming the challenges of living congruently to one’s personal faith within it.
