Abstract

The first‐person reports of mental health consumers and recent research suggest that religion/spirituality is an important ingredient to client well‐being and aids the recovery process. These findings have spurred increased interest in the role of religion/spirituality in mental health practice. This paper explores the state of research in this area, outlines the most prominent debates and dilemmas surrounding professional practice in this emotionally charged area, and offers some simple suggestions to guide clinicians until more fully developed practice guidelines emerge.
