Handbook of psychotherapy and religious diversity

This book provides practitioners with the information they need to increase their competency in working sensitively with members of each of the major faith communities in North America. This volume examines over 2 dozen religious denominations and faith traditions in the context of clinical practice. Chapter authors describe the unique history, beliefs, rituals, and practices of the religion as well as commonly held views on social and moral issues such as divorce, homosexuality, birth control, abortion, suicide, and euthanasia. Worldviews, including conceptions of a deity, life after death, and the purpose of life, are also discussed. /// Within the context of the particular faith, chapter authors describe the therapeutic process, including building relationships with clients from that tradition, assessment and diagnosis, common clinical issues, and interventions most congruent with the faith. Additional resources that help psychotherapists to deepen their understanding of a particular faith are also recommended. This book helps all practitioners to more fully honor and make use of the unique religious beliefs and spiritual resources of their clients.

  • ""The recognition that an understanding of religious diversity is an important aspect of multicultural competency continues to spread throughout the mental health professions. Awareness is growing that there is a strong ethical imperative for psychotherapists to develop competency in religious and spiritual aspects of diversity. Professionals want information that will help them integrate spirituality into treatment in ethical and effective ways with clients from diverse religious traditions. The second edition of the Handbook of Psychotherapy and Religious Diversity can help all of us succeed at this quest. This volume presents detailed information about the beliefs, practices, and clinical issues of clients from many of the Western and Eastern religions that are influential in the world and in North America, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as some racial and ethnic traditions (e.g., African American and Asian American religions). It will help psychotherapists more fully honor and incorporate the unique religious beliefs and spiritual resources of clients who belong to a particular religious denomination or spiritual tradition. The chapters herein can serve as a primary text in courses on religious and spiritual issues in psychotherapy and as a supplemental text in graduate courses on human diversity and multicultural counseling. This book is also a valuable desktop resource for the many practitioners who encounter clients from diverse religious traditions in their daily psychotherapy practices. The second edition of this book has been updated in a number of important ways. It provides current information about (a) religious demographics, organization, doctrine, culture, immigration, and globalization; (b) mental health implications of religious theology and culture; (c) religious views of the mental health professions and of current social and moral issues; (d) guidelines and recommendations for clinical practice; and (e) published and online resources. The authors also provide new case examples that illustrate clinical issues and intervention approaches with clients from their spiritual traditions. Finally, it provides updated citations and references to the scholarly and clinical literature. The first edition of this book was widely read by mental health practitioners and researchers. We are hopeful and optimistic that our colleagues in the mental health professions throughout North America will find this, the second edition of the Handbook of Psychotherapy and Religious Diversity, a valuable resource in their clinical practices and research"--Preface.
