In late 1970 and through the 1980's evangelically-trained Christian counselors attempted a more [[Paul Tillich]]-like integration of Christianity with modern psychology, successfully integrating themselves into much of modern evangelical Christianity.  Like the theology of [[Paul Tillich]], the basis of such a [[science and religion]]-integration proved to be somewhat unstable.  During this time nouthetic counseling was pushed out of evangelical Christianity (approx. 60 million) and respected and used only in Reformed Christianity (approx. a half million), but failures in evangelical counseling led to the re-emergence of Adams's theories in the 1990's.<ref name=POW/>
