Spirituality in Counselling and Psychotherapy

Front Cover
SAGE Publications, Nov 21, 2006 - Psychology - 224 pages
Spirituality in Counselling and Psychotherapy explores the idea that throughout the course of a therapeutic relationship between therapist and client, a spiritual level is reached by the two people involved. The author shows how this dimension can help clients who are living in an increasingly secular and faithless society to find some resolution with the issues they bring to therapy. By exploring different perspectives on religion and spirituality, the book provides therapists with the grounding they need to introduce spiritually-centered counseling into their practice.
