On the Integration of and Spirituality and Psychology: Cultural Considerations when Working with Diverse Spiritual Populations

Once marginalized in the field of psychotherapy, spirituality and religion have now become established ethical considerations in clinical research and practice. This workshop will offer clinical guidance for addressing spiritual/religious issues in the practice of therapy/counseling with an emphasis on the contextualization of client and therapist/counselor.

Gather both baseline and in-depth understandings of how spirituality and religion play a part in a client’s mental health. Discover how these fields integrate, and how to work more effectively with specific client presentations, gaining cultural competence and broadening your depth of practice. Whether in academia, assessment, or therapy, these clinical insights will broaden the strength of clinical insights.

Please feel free to direct any questions to the President of WPA shaina@smithpsychological.com and please pass this invitation along to any masters or doctoral level clinicians you have contact with whether or not they are currently involved with the WPA! Students are free to attend, and always welcome!
