“…Most of such training now occurs-if at all-in practicum and internship, and that is spotty. Improving training could involve (a) stand-alone courses in therapy and religion (e.g., Brawer, Handal, & Fabricatore, 2002), (b) more systematic inclusion in practicum, and (c) development of specialty training (e.g., certificate program in religion and psychotherapy; Yarhouse & Fisher, 2002).…”

To conclude this issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology: In Session, the authors identify several next steps for clinicians interested in religious and spiritual therapy. They call for more clinically useful definitions of religion and spirituality and suggest that new methods of clinical practice that employ both Western and Eastern religion and spirituality need to be developed and tested. The need for more clinically focused religious and spiritual assessments is highlighted. They recommend greater clergy-psychotherapist collaboration and propose that clinicians lead and collaborate with researchers to further meaningful research on religion and spirituality. Finally, the authors identify areas of graduate training that require strengthening and provide corresponding guidelines.

“…In response to contemporary issues, authors have posited a need to increase counselor knowledge of various religions (Yarhouse & Fisher, 2002) and of the counselor"s role globally (Chung, 2005;Leong & Ponterotto, 2003). In addition, a recent study in the literature identified social justice as a growing emphasis in multicultural counseling courses (Pieterse, Evans, Risner-Butner, Collins, & Mason, 2009), although skill-based instruction according to social justice initiatives appeared deficient in the 54 course syllabi assessed by the authors.…”

“…Finally, newer directives for multicultural competencies, as addressed in the literature, were included. Those included social justice issues (Kiselica, 2004), religion (Yarhouse & Fisher, 2002) and global awareness (Chung, 2005;Leong & Ponterotto, 2003).…”

Twelve adult clients described the role of religion and spirituality in their lives and in therapy as a whole, as well as their specific experiences of discussing religious-spiritual topics in individual outpatient psychotherapy with nonreligiously affiliated therapists. Data were analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR; Hill, Thompson, & Williams, 1997). Results indicated that clients were regularly involved in religious-spiritual activities, usually did not know the religious-spiritual orientation of their therapists, but often found them open to such discussions. Specific helpful discussions of NOT THE PUBLISHED VERSION; this is the author's final, peer-reviewed manuscript.

Specific unhelpful discussions were raised equally by clients and therapists early in therapy, made clients feel judged, and evoked negative effects. Implications for practice and research are addressed.Outpatient psychotherapy clients report a desire to discuss religious or spiritual topics in their therapy, and many also indicate that religion and spirituality are of central importance to their healing and growth (Rose, Westefeld, & Ansley, 2001). Given the profession's historical ambivalence toward matters of religion and spirituality, however, much remains to be learned regarding how these conversations may be rendered beneficial to clients. Such is the focus of the current study.We begin with some definitions, about which we acknowledge that full agreement has not been reached (Pargament, 1999). Religion, from the Latin religare, meaning ''to bind together or to express concern' ' (Fukuyama & Sevig, 1999), has been defined as an organizing system of faith, worship, rituals, and tradition (Worthington, 1988, as cited in Fukuyama & Sevig, 1999. Religion may thus offer structure and community to one's personal sense of spiritual connection. In contrast, spirituality, from the Latin spiritus, meaning ''breath, courage, vigor, or life'' (Ingersoll, 1994), is a phenomenon unique to the individual and has been defined as the ''breath'' that animates life or a sense of connection to oneself, others, and that which is beyond self and others (e.g., the transcendent, God 1 , universal energy, love). Although spirituality is an individual construct, denoting a personal relationship with the transcendent, religion is a social construct bespeaki...
