Spiritual Competency in Psychotherapy

Philip Brownell

4.9/5 (24728 ratings)

Description:While historically mental health clinicians were trained to refer spiritual issues to pastoral professionals, today the requirement for cultural competence in many dimensions may include those of a religious nature. Using a non-sectarian approach that can complement a wide range of psychotherapeutic orientations, this practical guide helps therapists and counselors gain competence in working with clients who are dealing with spirituality-related issues in their lives. Written by an experienced clinical psychologist who is also an ordained clergyman, the book describes how to work effectively and ethically with clients who present spiritual questions, problems, and unfinished spiritual or religious business. The book offers counselors and psychotherapists who lack experience or comfort in dealing with spiritual issues- especially those who have not worked out their own approach to spirituality-ways of understanding the nature of spirituality and orienting themselves to helping clients who wish to "go there." It provides basic information about spirituality and religiosity in traditional Western and Eastern constructs and discusses four ways in which spirituality can inform psychotherapy. It addresses specific issues therapists may encounter such as dealing with a client's crisis of uncertainty in faith, struggles with oppressive faith communities, grief and loss, and abuse at the hands of religious community leaders. Specific recommendations for providing therapeutic help and case examples drawn from actual practice provide practical guidelines for enhancing spiritual competency in psychotherapyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
