Nouthetic counseling was promoted by Jay Adams, and Exchanged Life counseling was promoted by Dr. Charles Solomon. While each is biblically based, the Exchanged Life approach teaches that man is a trichotomy — or three unique parts — body, soul and spirit. In Nouthetic counseling, the soul and spirit are considered one part, and therefore, they take a dichotomous approach to man’s design. Also, while Nouthetic counseling emphasizes the need for believers to apply Scripture to their lives in order to bring about positives life changes, the Exchanged Life approach seeks to show the believer their new identity in Christ and how to allow Him to live His life through them in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring about positive life changes.
