Factor your clients' religious beliefs into their therapy! A recent
Gallup poll found that nearly two-thirds of Americans surveyed said
they would prefer to receive counseling from a therapist who is
religious. The Power of Spirituality in Therapy: Integrating
Spiritual and Religious Beliefs in Mental Health Practice addresses
the apprehensions many clinicians have when it comes to discussing
God with their clients. Authors Peter A. Kahle and John M. Robbins
draw from their acclaimed workshops on the integration of
spirituality and psychotherapy to teach therapists how they can
help clients make positive life changes that are consistent with
their values and spiritual and/or religious orientations. The Power
of Spirituality in Therapy combines psychotherapy, spirituality,
and humor to examine the pink elephants of academia-Godphobia and
institutional a-spiritualism. The book explores the learned
avoidance that has historically limited therapists in their
abilityand willingnessto engage clients in God-talk and presents
clinicians with methods they can use to incorporate spirituality
into psychotherapy. Topics such as truth, belief, postmodernism,
open-mindedness, and all-inclusiveness are examined through
empirical findings, practical steps and cognitive processes, and
clinical stories. The Power of Spirituality in Therapy includes: To
Be (Ethical) or Not to Be? WHAT is the Question? To Believe or Not
to Believe? That is NOT the Question! The Deification of
Open-Mindedness Learning From Our Clients In God Do Therapists
Trust? and much more! The Power of Spirituality in Therapy is an
essential resource for therapists, counselors, mental health
practitioners, pastoral counselors, and social work professionals
who deal with clients who require therapy that reflects the
importance of God in their lives. This guide will help those brave
enough to explore how their own spiritual beliefs and/or biases can
create problems when working with those clients.
