Description

Book Synopsis
This book explains when forgiveness and spiritual transformation might be appropriate clinical goals, as well as how to facilitate these processes in psychotherapy. The model is applied to short-term therapy, long-term therapy, couple and family therapy, and group therapy.

Trade Review
“This is a useful read for time-strapped practitioners who want to understand this approach and improve their clinical efficacy by integrating the religious and psycho-spiritual approach into their work, as I believe that this is a key aspect of therapy that is missing.” —New England Psychologist
