From a leading researcher and practitioner, this volume provides an
innovative framework for understanding the role of spirituality in
people's lives and its relevance to the work done in psychotherapy.
It offers fresh, practical ideas for creating a spiritual dialogue
with clients, assessing spirituality as a part of their problems
and solutions, and helping them draw on spiritual resources in
times of stress. Written from a nonsectarian perspective, the book
encompasses both traditional and nontraditional forms of
spirituality. It is grounded in current findings from psychotherapy
research and the psychology of religion, and includes a wealth of
evocative case material.
When faced with a crisis, why do some people turn to religion to
help them cope, while others turn away? Is religious belief merely
a defense or a form of denial? Is spirituality a help or a
hindrance in times of stress? Building a much-needed bridge between
two different worlds of thought and practice -- religion and
psychology -- this volume sensitively interweaves theory with
first-hand accounts, clinical insight, and scientific research. The
book underscores the need for greater sensitivity to religion and
spirituality in the context of helping relationships, and suggests
a range of ways that faith might be used more fully to help people
in crisis.
Does my life have any deeper meaning? Does God really care about
me? How can I find and follow my moral compass? What do I do when
my faith is shaken to the core? Spiritual trials, doubts, or
conflicts are often intertwined with mental health concerns, yet
many psychotherapists feel ill equipped to discuss questions of
faith. From pioneers in the psychology of religion and
spirituality, this book combines state-of-the-art research,
clinical insights, and vivid case illustrations. It guides
clinicians to understand spiritual struggles as critical crossroads
in life that can lead to brokenness and decline--or to greater
wholeness and growth. Clinicians learn sensitive, culturally
responsive ways to assess different types of spiritual struggles
and help clients use them as springboards to change.
