`Fascinating. There is much here that is controversial, thought
provoking and very useful. It is encyclopaedic in its breadth and
use of knowledge. [Like] rich food [it] needs to be taken in
slowly, savouring every morsel!' - Thresholds `[Spirituality] has
been traditionally 'taboo' within the counselling and psychotherapy
profession. Denis Lines comes into this controversial scene with a
rigorous-but-gentle, mystical-but-grounded, inspiring and
thought-provoking voice.... The book is well written and presents
the model in the context of other therapeutic modalities, which
makes it interesting and useful for therapists from different
backgrounds and practice settings. It could also be of use for
those involved in religious education, pastoral care or anybody
interested in the spiritual development of the self or the
existential quest of humankind' - Therapy Today 'This gentle,
mystical, empirical and scholarly book is truly inspirational and
it deserves the widest possible readership among therapists,
religious educators and all those who care about the spiritual
destiny of humankind' - Professor Brian Thorne, Co-founder The
Norwich Centre and Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of
East Anglia Spirituality in Counselling and Psychotherapy explores
the idea that throughout the course of a therapeutic relationship
between therapist and client, a spiritual level is reached by the
two people involved. The author shows how this dimension can help
clients who are living in an increasingly secular and faithless
society to find some resolution with the issues they bring to
therapy. By exploring different perspectives on religion and
spirituality, the book provides therapists with the grounding they
need to introduce spiritually-centred counselling into their
practice. It describes the characteristics of spiritual counselling
and covers practical considerations such as: " recognising
indications from the client to move into a spiritual mode of
therapy " exploring the 'self' through spiritual work within the
therapeutic process, and how this can lead to healing and growth "
how to deal with doubt and scepticism over issues of spirituality.
The book is illustrated throughout with transcripts and case
studies to show how therapists can integrate the spiritual within
their own approach to therapeutic work. It will be invaluable to
all those who wish to explore this dimension in their work with
clients.
