Spiritual Competence for Mental Health Professionals takes a
holistic developmental approach toward spirituality in
psychotherapy and counseling. This means that it considers an
understanding of spiritual development to be as germane to mental
health practice as an understanding of physical, cognitive,
emotional, and social development and that it views spirituality as
shaped by developmental processes. Common spiritual issues at each
stage in the individual and family life course are discussed. Tools
for understanding one's own and one's clients' spiritual
orientations and goals along with interventions and practices that
foster spiritual growth in the client and the practitioner are
presented. Reflection and discussion topics are provided at the end
of each chapter. Ultimately, this book aims to help mental health
practitioners, educators and students to change their approach from
'meet the client where they are spiritually' to 'meet the client
where they are spiritually and help them develop further.'
