This thoroughly updated version of Sperrys classic text is well-grounded in current research on both spirituality and psychotherapy and provides clinically valuable guidance in not just incorporating but actually integrating spirituality into the treatment process. Special attention is given to critical topics including spiritual assessment, case conceptualization, the cutting-edge interventions, outcomes monitoring, and cultural and ethical issues. This book will be a valued resource for students and experienced therapists seeking to deepen their integration of spiritual concerns in everyday clinical practice.
