Psychotherapie und Spiritualität

This book provides a thorough examination of how the resource of spirituality—an increasing concern for both practitioners and patients—can be applied professionally and where the boundaries lie. Existential conflicts and the associated questions of spirituality and religion are no longer taboo in psychotherapy and psychiatry today. Culturally sensitive treatment requires knowledge and empathy for the client's belief system. Furthermore, the book offers foundational insights for understanding and therapeutically supporting religious individuals in psychological crises. The second, completely revised edition includes expanded chapters on narcissism and mindfulness. It is written for psychotherapists in clinical and private practice, psychiatrists, staff in counseling centers, chaplains, and interested clients. Content includes: addressing questions of meaning and transcendence in psychotherapy.
