"Written with great clarity and intelligence, this book will be of benefit to all mental health practitioners, students of psychology, and those seeking a better understanding of their own process of psychological and spiritual transformation."
—Tara Brach, PhD, Author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge

"In this wonderful book, Rick Johnson weaves together different theoretical perspectives in a way that welcomes religion, spirituality, and nature into the counseling and psychotherapy process. It's a delight to read Dr. Johnson's approach—an approach that teaches therapists how to empathically explore spirituality as an important dimension of human existence."
—John Sommers-Flanagan, PhD, coauthor of Counseling and Psychotherapy Theories in Context and Practice and Clinical Interviewing

"Rick Johnson's book Spirituality in Counseling and Psychotherapy is a rich introduction to the varied forms in which spiritual suffering enters the consulting room, the range of theories which address or fail to address this need, and specific attitudes and practices through which therapists can provide a non-doctrinal but open encounter with the spiritual needs of their clients."
—James Hollis, PhD, Jungian analyst, and author of fourteen books, among them What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life

A practical integration of psychology and spirituality that builds upon existing psychological theories

While many clients want spiritual and philosophical issues to be addressed in therapy, many mental health professionals report that they feel ill-equipped to meet clients' needs in this area. Providing a model that is approachable from a variety of theoretical orientations, Spirituality in Counseling and Psychotherapy supports therapists in becoming open to the unique ways that clients define, experience, and access life-affirming, spiritual beliefs and practices.

Drawing on the author's research into spiritual issues as well as predictors of clients' psychological health, this reflective book presents an integrative approach to discussing the topic of spirituality. An essential resource for mental health professionals of all spiritual and religious persuasions, Spirituality in Counseling and Psychotherapy discusses:

• Client-defined spirituality
• Integrating spirituality with psychological theories
• Why clients become spiritually lost
• Practical steps for spiritual health and abundance in therapy
• Helping clients reclaim their real self
• How spiritually oriented therapy helps
• Guidance for therapists in differentiating their spirituality from their clients' to foster a more successful therapeutic relationship

Filled with numerous cases and stories illustrating how spirituality can be a natural and beneficial part of the therapeutic process, Spirituality in Counseling and Psychotherapy enables mental health professionals to nonjudgmentally invite a collaborative exploration of the role of spirituality in their clients' lives.

Spirituality in Counseling and Psychotherapy: An Integrative Approach that Empowers Clients

The book is well-written and enjoyable to read. It integrates traditional and contemporary counseling theories with an inclusive view of spirituality, focused on clients' experiences. It is a must read for mental health practitioners.

By JE

As a graduate student soon to enter the counseling field, I cannot emphasize how valuable I found this book to be. Spirituality and religion are finally being recognized by the counseling profession as not only being important in many clients' lives, but also as providing both internal and external resources for clients. From a wellness perspective, it is essential for therapists and counselors to be comfortable and competent in dealing with issues around spirituality and religion. This is as important as any other multicultural competency.

This timely book addresses not only the need to provide spiritually-sensitive counseling, but takes the reader through the steps necessary to be able to effectively integrate this competency into their therapeutic work with clients.

I found this book to be well written, engaging, thought-provoking, and very beneficial. Dr.Johnson includes numerous case studies throughout, which help to illustrate the themes, teachings, and skills he presents. I would highly recommend this book to all therapists and counselors - those just entering the field, and those who may have been practicing professionally for years, but recognize the benefit of becoming proficient in addressing and utilizing spirituality in their sessions with clients.
