Spirituality is considered important for culturally sensitive, patient-focused care. Still, there may be limitations with spiritual care delivery or guidelines. The study explores interdisciplinary perspectives on supportive care for individuals encountered who choose a biblical framework intervention for mental health treatment. A qualitative literature synthesis was conducted, and an online survey with an open-ended anonymous questionnaire were used to review a case described by a Biblical Framework Counseling (BFC) provider. Various providers identified in the literature utilized religious/spiritual (R/S), medical and/or psychological monotherapy, or integrated interventions. Fifty-four multidisciplinary professionals were surveyed, and responses analyzed. Preliminary themes included willingness to coordinate care for individuals with biblical beliefs, the capacity to which health professionals would provide care, and perceptions of BFC efficacy. R/S care was reportedly integrated as a part of a holistic approach; regular follow-ups or ethical hand-off/referral for BFC clients was considered due to provider comfort level with BFC monotherapy, perceived relapse potential, with ongoing medication management, individual therapy, and spiritual maintenance recommended. The case revealed contrasts in BFC and nonR/S provider perspectives on pertinent mental health history and inferences. Significant client information for support were confirmatory diagnosis, symptoms, comorbidities, relevant childhood issues, faith-health beliefs, family history and genetics, medication and therapy adherence, substance use. Providers’ faith-health belief congruence with BFC clients and ethical decisionmaking should be considered. GME programs may consider these, as well as R/S intervention types and multidisciplinary provider scope of practice as options for clinician training.

“…Discussions of religion can help undo unbearable self-condemning thoughts. This can move patients to imagine that in some ways they have put together self-harming ideas that may be wrong ( 62 – 64 ). These discussions can also, like the father condemning himself because his daughter was getting a divorce, enable such patients, then, to see themselves in a new, more positive light, even when this is unprecedented.…”

Many patients have lasting disorders due, for example, to excessive and chronic childhood stress. For these patients, certain psychotherapeutic approaches may be maximally effective, and this may be universally the case. This piece is intended to give providers optimal tools for reaching and helping these patients who, otherwise, may remain among those worst off. These interventions should enhance patients’ trust, the quintessential precondition for enabling these patients to change. Specific interventions discussed include anticipating ambiguity and clarifying this before ambiguity occurs, therapists indicating that they will support patients’ and families’ wants over their own views, feeling and disclosing their emotions, validating patients’ anger, laughing, going beyond usual limits, explaining why, asking before doing, discussing religion and ethics, and informing whenever this could be beneficial.

“…This may lead to a positive social response to an individual who might be displaying OCD symptoms, albeit in a manner considered socially acceptable and even encouraged. In this context, Religion-Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (R-CBT) has been widely recognized to be just as efficacious as secular CBT, with some studies even reporting findings that suggest it has greater success ( 25 ). In many populations, religious beliefs form the foundation of the paradigm through which individuals understand themselves, the world, the metaphysical, and even their illnesses.…”
