There are many different ways in which minority religions and
counselling may interact. In some cases there can be antagonism
between counselling services and minority religions, with each
suspecting they are ideologically threatened by the other, but it
can be argued that the most common relationship is one of ignorance
- mental health professionals do not pay much attention to religion
and often do not ask or consider their client's religious
affiliation. To date, the understanding of this relationship has
focused on the 'anti-cult movement' and the perceived need for
members of minority religions to undergo some form of 'exit
counselling'. In line with the series, this volume takes a
non-judgemental approach and instead highlights the variety of
issues, religious groups and counselling approaches that are
relevant at the interface between minority religion and
counselling. The volume is divided into four parts: Part I offers
perspectives on counselling from different professions; Part II
offers chapters from the field leaders directly involved in
counselling former members of minority religions; Part III offers
unique personal accounts by members and former members of a number
of different new religions; while Part IV offers chapters on some
of the most pertinent current issues in the counselling/minority
religions fields, written by new and established academics. In
every section, the volume seeks to explore different permutations
of the counsellor-client relationship when religious identities are
taken into account. This includes not only 'secular' therapists
counselling former members of religion, but the complexities of the
former member turned counsellor, as well as counselling practised
both within religious movements and by religious movements that
offer counselling services to the 'outside' world.
