Understanding Religion and Spirituality in Clinical Practice PDF
by Margaret Clark
Part of the The Society of Analytical Psychology Monograph Series series
Description
Understanding Religion and Spirituality in Clinical Practice is a volume in the clinical practice monograph series from the Society of Analytical Psychology.
This series is intended primarily for trainees on psychotherapy and psychodynamic counselling courses, and for those who are newly qualified.
Here, the author considers the difficulties clinicians may encounter when patients talk about God or about their spiritual life, and how necessary it is for therapists to examine their own image of God and their own understanding of spirituality, so that they can distinguish these from those of their patients.
She emphasizes how varied are people's images and understanding of what "God" stands for, and how in healthy development these will change over time.
The book demonstrates, through numerous clinical vignettes, how clinicians can understand a patient's talking about religion or about God - hearing the voice of God, having a vision of God, or being convinced that God wants them to act in a particular way; or, equally, seeing the Devil.
