Zusammenfassung:Spirituality is one of the most important aspects of diversity; however, it is often neglected in clinical practice and even in multicultural training. In order for clinicians and trainers to deepen their understandings of how to incorporate culturally based spiritual experiences effectively into their practices, this study explored how East Asian clinicians respond to spiritual beliefs expressed and spiritual practices utilised by their East Asian clients. Three focus groups were formed consisting of nine clinicians from Chinese, Korean, and Japanese communities in the Northwest region of the United States. Each group was interviewed based on the semi-structured question guideline and the data were analysed to identify core themes of culturally based spiritual experiences and delineate effective ways to understand and respond to them. This article included various case examples as well as clinical recommendations suggested by research participants.
