Description: Spirituality is an important part of many clients' lives. It can be a resource for stabilization, healing, and growth. It can also be the cause of struggle and even harm. More and more therapists--those who consider themselves spiritual and those who do not--recognize the value of addressing spirituality in therapy and increasing their skill for engaging it ethically and effectively.
