This review is from: Integrating Spirituality Into Treatment: Resources for Practitioners (Hardcover)
If you are seeking to integrate spirituality into patient care in a hospital, medical practice, or ambulatory surgery center -- you should seek other works. Psychologists, psychotherapists, behavioral therapists and ministers or chaplains who have an ongoing relationship with patients (e.g. chronic illnesses) will find this book useful and important. Chapters on: Spirituality and Health, Historical Context, Assessing Spirituality, Mindfulness and Meditation, Prayer, Spirituality and the 12-step Programs, Values Spirituality and Psychotherapy, Behavioral Approaches to Enhance Spirituality, Spiritual Surrender: A Paradoxical Path to Control, Acceptance and Forgiveness, Evoking Hope, Serenity and Diversity Training in Spiritual and Religious Issues. The only critique is the absence of an instrument to assess spirituality (or even guidance for the reader on which existing assessments are the best in practice).

Spirituality in psychology,
This review is from: Integrating Spirituality Into Treatment: Resources for Practitioners (Hardcover)
I have been using this book in the psychology 495 course (Spirituality and Mental Health) and have found this book invaluable. It shows how really necesary the spirituality of a person is to their mental health and should not be ignored as has been tried in the past. The whole person needs to be treated and part of that whole is the spiritual. Not religious or their religion but their spirituality.

This review is from: Integrating Spirituality Into Treatment: Resources for Practitioners (Hardcover)
This book is for folks who are serious about this subject. It is very academic and has comprehensive references. I agree with the editor that it's about time the psychological community acknowledged clients' spirituality and integrated it into treatment. This is tough to do without imposing one's own beliefs (or lack thereof) on the client, and I think this book goes a ways toward helping the practitioner understand what's out there and how to relate to it. The editor is a Christian, but eastern spirituality is included in the book, too, as is the 12-step program. The chapters are written by people with experience in the various facets of spirituality. One problem that I see is that the editing is sloppy. For instance the word "for" might appear when "or" is really what's meant. It's distracting and makes the read take longer as one has to keep going back over the text for clarification.
