This book is for therapists who want to enhance their effectiveness with clients whose spirituality is a salient part of their worldview. Whether or not the therapist has a spiritual background, the authors demonstrate that it is possible to honor clients' spiritual experience from the beginning to the end of the therapeutic process. Practical strategies, techniques, and examples are used to show how spirituality can influence each stage of treatment from before the clinical intake, starting with an understanding of ethical practice guidelines and therapist self-awareness, through termination. Self-reflection questions, diverse case examples, and a multiple session case study chapter are provided to build readers' understanding and ability to incorporate spirituality into counseling and psychotherapy.

A brain trust well worth reading for both therapists and non-specialist general readers
December 12, 2008
Format:Hardcover
Science hasn't been able to pinpoint it, but spirituality can mean a great deal in the healing process. "Spirituality and the Therapeutic Process: A Comprehensive Resource From Intake to Termination" is the work of many professionals in the field of therapy, speaking out on their experiences with the touchy subject of spirituality with their patients and using it to help them heal their patient's woes. Enhanced with an index, "Spirituality and the Therapeutic Process" is a brain trust well worth reading for both therapists and non-specialist general readers.
