Understanding Religion and Spirituality in Clinical Practice is a
volume in the clinical practice monograph series from the Society
of Analytical Psychology. This series is intended primarily for
trainees on psychotherapy and psychodynamic counselling courses,
and for those who are newly qualified. Here, the author considers
the difficulties clinicians may encounter when patients talk about
God or about their spiritual life, and how necessary it is for
therapists to examine their own image of God and their own
understanding of spirituality, so that they can distinguish these
from those of their patients. She emphasizes how varied are
people's images and understanding of what "God" stands for, and how
in healthy development these will change over time. The book
demonstrates, through numerous clinical vignettes, how clinicians
can understand a patient's talking about religion or about God -
hearing the voice of God, having a vision of God, or being
convinced that God wants them to act in a particular way; or,
equally, seeing the Devil.
