INCORPORATING SPIRITUALITY IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
Theory and Technique
Geri Miller
John Wiley & Sons, 2003
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: To understand a synopsis of the major Eastern and Western religions and spiritual movements; theoretical, cultural, and ethical implications of incorporating spirituality in counseling; practical methods for helping clients develop a spiritual identity; proven techniques for incorporating spiritual practices in treatment; case studies providing complex, real-life scenarios, as well as questions and activities for individual and group discussion.
This book presents an applied, insightful, and well-researched overview of the theory, practice, and ethics of integrating spiritual and religious themes and rituals into traditional therapy models. This text examines common barriers and bridges between spirituality and mental health and documents the effectiveness of using spiritual practices and concepts in treatment. Most important, it encourages readers, through group activities and individual reflection, to consider their own spiritual belief systems and biases before engaging clients in therapy with a spiritual base.
