Gain solid empirical findings to understand your own spiritual
development To significantly impact clients' spirituality and use
the spiritual strengths the client possesses to facilitate their
move toward health, a counselor must be willing to explore his or
her own spiritual development. Exploring the Spiritual: Paths for
Counselors and Psychotherapists provides cognitive information
grounded in the empirical findings of social science, as well as
experiential material which encourages the counselors' own
spiritual quest. This invaluable source clarifies the interface
between the counselor's spirituality and the client's, and allows
the spiritual dimension to emerge appropriately in the counseling
process. Exploring the Spiritual: Paths for Counselors and
Psychotherapists provides challenging questions and exercises that
lead the counselor or psychotherapist through a personal
exploration to attain the maturity of development needed to
facilitate the client's spiritual growth. The text, written in an
accessible narrative style, features helpful case studies and
personal anecdotes to illustrate the concepts and processes
described. Each chapter includes an overview of an issue, develops
an argument or position, and presents a focused exploration of some
relevant empirical research that is presented in a context that
helps the reader see its personal implications. The final section
leads the reader through exercises and experiments, helping them to
focus on the counselor's own inner experience or encouraging the
counselor to experiment with new behaviors. This insightful
resource encourages the counselor to work directly with the
client's spiritual experiences and conceptualizations without
imposing on the client the beliefs of the counselor. Topics
discussed in Exploring the Spiritual: Paths for Counselors and
Psychotherapists include: models of spiritual development steps
toward spiritual maturation the contribution of crises in belief
and in values the physical-emotional self, and the contribution of
