Abstract: "Explorations in Counseling and Spirituality Philosophical, Practical, and Personal Reflections offers a basic foundation for readers to draw practical and personal conclusions about counseling and spirituality. Readers review didactic and experiential investigations of spiritual and religious beliefs in relation to counseling. The authors examine issues about spirituality as well as examples of specific interventions with information not addressed in other counseling or spirituality resources. Coverage is divided into philosophical, practical, and personal domains. A holistic model of counseling and spirituality integrates the scholarly and philosophical with the practical and personal. This rich introduction draws from many disciplines." -- Publisher's description
