Handbook of Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapies

by P. Scott Richards PhD (Editor), G. E. Kawika Allen (Editor), Daniel Judd (Editor)

Overview

Spirituality—our relationship with the sacred—is expressed through our beliefs, practices, emotions, values, and relationships. Spirituality can play a vital role in understanding the problems clients face and the solutions they seek in psychotherapy.

This volume brings together top scholars who show how therapists can ethically and competently integrate spiritual perspectives and interventions into their practices and thereby more effectively treat clients from diverse religious, spiritual, racial, and cultural backgrounds.

The chapters present research, clinical guidance, and case studies representing a wide variety of approaches and settings, including community mental health centers, private practice offices, hospitals and medical clinics, universities, and prisons.

Given the important role that spirituality plays in many people’s lives, this book will help practitioners bring attention, sensitivity, and evidence-based knowledge about the spiritual dimension into their psychotherapy practice.

What People are Saying About This

Len Sperry

Authoritative, evidence-based, and a proven learning resource: What more could you ask for? I have no doubt that Handbook of Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapies will be the essential resource for educating the current and future generations of mental health professionals in integrating spiritual and religious issues in mental health practice.

Lisa Miller

Many therapists express a desire to move into a spiritually integrated treatment with clients but are unsure of the new territory, both in conceptualization and technique. This handbook presents a much-awaited clear, actionable guide for therapists. Cases and treatment approaches are drawn from clinical science as much as the wise experience of long-time spiritually integrated therapists. Increasingly, patients in deep suffering are looking to engage spiritually with their therapist. It’s time for us to embrace this expanded opportunity.

Thomas G. Plante

In Handbook of Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapies, we get a state-of-the-art, comprehensive, engaging, and scholarly yet practical book on the important area of spiritually integrated psychotherapies. It highlights multiple faith traditions, patient populations, and techniques, and it is multicultural in focus. Most of the contributors are superstars in this area, so the reader is learning from those who have shaped the field as well. The book should be on the desk of every mental health professional who is engaged with spiritually and religiously informed psychotherapies and will surely become a classic in the field. I’m sure that my copy will be well-worn rather soon.
