商品簡介
Editors Walker (director, the Child Trauma Institute) and Hathaway (psychology and counseling, Regent University) bring together US contributors in psychiatry, psychology, counseling, and marriage and family studies to explore spiritual interventions for child and adolescent clients and their families with a range of presenting problems in various clinical settings. They specifically address Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, as well as a more general spirituality. The book begins with background on spiritual interventions and evidence for their effectiveness. Part 1, on foundations and context, examines ethical issues, assessment of religious and spiritual issues, and spiritually oriented interventions in a developmental context. Part 2 describes specific spiritual interventions from different theoretical and spiritual perspectives, discussing prayer, forgiveness, and images of God. This section presents a protocol for using Biblical scripture in the context of empirically supported parenting programs with conservative Christian parents.
