Spiritual Presence In Psychotherapy: A Guide For Caregivers

Within the broad field of psychotherapy, there has not been an in-depth examination of the interface between psychotherapeutic practice and established religious tradition until now. In Spiritual Presence in Psychotherapy, David Steere identifies the spiritual roots in traditional religion - and presents a unique look at this heretofore neglected relationship.
This book was written in response to the need observed by Dr. Steere for caregivers to accommodate a spiritual dimension in their work. Psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, pastoral counselors, nurses - and all who deal with the responsibility of treating mental disorders and helping people change - will find Spiritual Presence in Psychotherapy invaluable.
In addition to the professionals who will find Spiritual Presence in Psychotherapy an important resource and reference, the book will also serve as a key graduate-level textbook for students of professional issues and ethics, as well as psychotherapy and spirituality.

David A. Steere, Ph.D., is Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling and Director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Kentucky.
