Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The article focuses on how religion, spirituality and implicit religion are involved in psychotherapy. The relation between religion and mental health is an important issue, but the relationship is complex and the evidence contradictory. Therapists and clients should recognize that a person's spirituality and implicit religion may not always deepen and expand the work of psychotherapy but may indeed interfere with certain aspects of psychological development. Certain aspects of identity, values and world-view may conflict with therapeutic strategies for increasing self-knowledge and more adequate functioning.
