FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Downers Grove, IL鈥敼呈悠 Press, a leading publisher of thoughtful Christian books, and the Christian Association for Psychological Studies International (CAPS International), the largest nonprofit association of Christians in counseling and the behavioral sciences, are partnering to publish books that contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between Christianity and the behavioral sciences. The partnership between CAPS International and 果冻视频 Press upholds each ministry鈥檚 desire for excellence in scholarship in a discipline that benefits the church and the world.
Paul Regan, executive director of the CAPS International, says, 鈥淲e believe that a strong relation with 果冻视频 Press will further both organizations in the fulfillment of our visions to integrate Christian spirituality with academic rigor, particularly in the behavioral sciences.鈥
CAPS International, an association for Christian psychologists, therapists, counselors and academicians, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the association at the 2006 Annual Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, on March 9-12, 2006. Founded in 1956 by a small group of Christian mental health professionals, CAPS has grown to more than 2,000 members in the United States and Canada and also includes members from more than 25 other countries. Conference attendees now include those in clinical practice, academia, church-based counseling, and research, as well as students of the discipline.

Bob Fryling, publisher of 果冻视频 Press, says, 鈥湽呈悠 Press and our new imprint IVP Academic are known for publishing books that reflect both scholarly excellence and deep biblical faith. We believe that the CAPS logo on 果冻视频 Press books will add to this reputation as it communicates a high standard of professional credibility and Christian faith.鈥
The books to be developed in through the CAPS partnership will be at both the clinical counseling level and the theoretical research level. Andy Le Peau, editorial director at 果冻视频 Press, says, 鈥淏oth 果冻视频 Press and CAPS are serious about Christian scholarship that makes a difference in the work of those in the helping professions.
