Pathways to Spirituality

Until recently, many therapists shied away from the question of spirituality because they lacked a clear definition of it, often conflating spirituality with religion. The core of this book is a simple, secular definition of spirituality that lends itself to any client, regardless of religious affiliation and to any mental health practitioner, regardless of theoretical background. O’Hanlon views spirituality as a connection to something bigger than oneself, and provides therapists with a conceptual model and practical strategies for helping clients make connections of their own. Pathways to Spirituality shows that spirituality not only has a place in therapy today, but can make the work that therapists do more effective and enriching than ever before.
