About the Author Russell Siler Jones, Th D, is director of the Residency in Psychotherapy and Spirituality at Care Net/Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and a psychotherapist in private practice in Asheville, North Carolina.
Spirit in Session is a pragmatic guide that therapists will turn to again and again as they engage their clients in one of the most meaningful and consequential dimensions of human experience.
He writes about a complex topic with an elegant simplicity and provides how-to advice in a way that encourages therapists to find their own way to apply it.
Jones has been a therapist for nearly 30 years and has trained therapists in the use of Spirituality for over a decade.
He includes extended case studies and clinical dialogue so readers can hear how Spirituality becomes part of case conceptualization and what spiritual conversation actually sounds like in psychotherapy.
with a refreshing, down-to-earth style, he describes how to recognize the diverse explicit and implicit ways Spirituality can appear in psychotherapy, how to assess the impact Spirituality is having on clients, how to make interventions to maximize its healthy impact and lessen its unhealthy impact, and how therapists can draw upon their own Spirituality in ethical and skillful ways.
In this immensely practical book, Russell Siler Jones helps therapists feel more competent and confident about having spiritual conversations with clients.
More and more therapists--those who consider themselves spiritual and those who do not--recognize the value of addressing Spirituality in therapy and increasing their skill for engaging it ethically and effectively.
It can also be the cause of struggle and even harm.
It can be a resource for stabilization, healing, and growth.
