PTH 660 - Spiritual Resources

This course focuses on the intentional inclusion of spiritual and religious resources in the theory and practice of marriage and family therapy. Given that religion and spirituality frequently influence personal and family narratives, it is important that therapists gain comfort and competence with the integration of spirituality in therapeutic conversations. This course presents the opportunity for students to develop a philosophical basis for human spirituality, a relational ethic of care and compassion, and the clinical competencies to integrate spiritual resources within individual, couple and family practice.
