QUESTION
What is the role of spirituality in counseling?
In recent years those in the field of counseling have begun to realize that spirituality is an important component of counseling. “Ideas about how human beings relate to the universal are at the core of all cultural views on “being.” Our beliefs about how our world and universe operate, be they theistic or atheistic, form part of the gemeinschaft (worldview) of all us.” (Rivette) Religious or spiritual beliefs can directly effect how we deal with life issues and need to be taken into account when counseling someone. Taking into account a patient’s value and belief system creates a greater depth of understanding, and therefore a more complete system of counseling.
