In its origins, psychology was concerned with mind, body, and spirit. This volume re-establishes the importance of spirituality while integrating it into the mainstream of sound psychological practice. In practical, accessible language, this edited book addresses broad, transtheoretical aspects of spirituality, including acceptance, forgiveness, hope, values, and control. Contributors provide indispensable guidance for assessing, understanding, and responding to the spiritual aspects of clients' lives. This volume is a must-read for health professionals who wish to understand a core dimension of human functioning.
