Exploring Religion and Spirituality in Clinical Practice

Abstract

This article is a report on a study designed with experienced clinicians to explore the question of spirituality, religion and practice. Using eight focus groups from around the United States, the data provided support for the importance of theoretically grounded practitioners who have integrated spiritual and religious practices into their personal and professional lives. The participants' discussions provide strong support for exploring spirituality and religious beliefs in the context of the ways clients make meaning of life circumstances. An interesting finding is the importance of paying attention to the place of spirituality and religion in clinical practice.
