The current interest in spirituality has intensified the quest
to incorporate spirituality in non-sectarian therapy. "Spiritual
Care and Therapy" is a hands-on, up-to-date clinical guide that
addresses this concern.
Peter VanKatwyk explores spiritual care, from pastoral
traditions to essential psychotherapies, in individual, couple, and
family therapy, offering integrative perspectives. Therapy
vignettes from multiple perspectives are included, as well as a
wealth of diagrams and maps. His unique perspective of different
helping relationships is an approach that celebrates diversity and
promotes the flexibility of multiple uses of self and their
respective styles of care.
Part 1 describes common and pluralistic meanings of
spirituality, locating spiritual care both in the ordinary
experience of daily life and in professional practice.
Part 2 focuses on the essentials of caring, posed in the three
questions of what to know (therapy models), what to say
(communication roles) and what to be (uses of self). These three
core areas converge in the book's central framework of the helping
style inventory (helping relationships).
Part 3 maps the contexts of care: the person situated in family
and society, moving through time in rites of passage that congest
when impacted by crisis and loss.
Finally, Part 4 presents the actual process of clinical
education, first through a model of supervision and second, through
a research methodology designed for the study of spirituality and
health care.
Perfect as a text in either education or academic programs,
this book will be of interest to all helping professionals who
value an integrative and holistic approach to spiritual care and
therapy.
