It accurately portrays the deepest meanings of both spiritual presence and psychotherapy and shows interactions. This is a pioneering volume  the first of its kind. It should be the standard text for years to come. -- Wayne E. Oates  Ph.D.  Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus  University of Louisiana School of Medicine In Spiritual Presence in Psychotherapy  David Steere recognizes the incorporation of this tradition -- referring to it as spirituality -- and presents a unique look at this heretofore neglected interface. This book is written in response to the need observed by Dr. Steere  for caregivers who want to accommodate a spiritual dimension in their work. For this reason  psychotherapists  psychologists  psychiatrists  social workers  pastoral counselors  nurses -- all dealing with the responsibility of treating mental disorders and helping people change -- will find Spiritual Presence in Psychotherapy invaluable. The first part of the text discusses the interfaces of psychotherapy and spirituality. Dr. Steere analyzes the deconstruction of mainstream religion and the rise of psychotherapy against a backdrop of what he calls spiritual homelessness. In the second part  seven models for spiritual presence in psychotherapy are described. These are: supernatural  expansive  empathic  developmental  sacred  crisis  and systemic. Then  in the final portion of the book  the focus moves to an integration of responsiveness to spiritual presence in effective and enduring caregiving. In addition to the professionals who will find Spiritual Presence in Psychotherapy an important resource and reference  the bookwill also serve as a key textbook for graduate-level students of professional issues and ethics  as well as psychotherapy and spirituality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648037183541,"sku":"ByrdShop_087630823X","price":90.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780876308233.jpg?v=1781707173","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/spiritual-presence-in-psychotherapy-a-guide-for-caregivers-9780876308233","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
