Religion can play a vital role in the way people relate to each other, particularly with interpersonal dynamics within a family. The role of a couple or family’s religion(s) in the counseling room is no less important. This book provides practitioners with an overview of the principles of the major world religions, with specific focus on how each religion can influence family dynamics, and how best to incorporate this knowledge into effective practice with clients.
They describe the skills needed and possible interven- tion strategies for
incorporating all of these dimensions. ... When mental health professionals take
time to develop a working relationship with such religious leaders, the clients
benefit the most. ... as edu- cators of other mental health trainees, will be offered
specific ways in which to incorporate religious education into their affiliated
training programs.
