Spirituality in Clinical Practice : Incorporating the Spiritual Dimension in Psychotherapy and Counseling

The belief that spirituality is vital for growth and essential for dealing with life's problems is increasingly appealing to many as we enter the 21st century.

This book offers clinicians a broad theoretical overview of the spiritual dimension as well as effective strategies for incorporating the spiritual dimension in the practice of psychotherapy and counseling.

Spirituality in Clinical Practice includes perspectives not found in other texts such as a developmental perspective integrating moral and spiritual development, the interface of spiritual development with personality functioning, and insights from object relations, self psychology and transpersonal psychotherapy as they relate to various spiritual traditions and contemporary spiritual practices.

This brief, reader-friendly text is written in a highly accessible style and is destined to set a precedent for excellence in the emerging field of spirituality in clinical practice or psychotherapy and counseling.
