HOL 6910 - Spiritual Practices in Treatment

This seminar will examine the role of spirituality, contemplation, and spiritual practices in treatment protocols in various healing modalities. Spirituality and contemplation will be studied as important resources in the healing process and the emotional well-being of the client/patient. In addition, the spiritual lives of therapists/helpers will be explored as a means to support their ability to offer the core conditions to promote healing. One goal of the seminar will be to enable those in the helping professions to work with the spiritual lives of their clients/patients without imposing their own spiritual framework. Therapeutic models for integrating spirituality into practice will be offered and specific teachings and practices from various faith traditions and spiritual philosophies will be explored as part of a healing process.
