Solution-Oriented Spirituality: Connection, Wholeness, and Possibility for Therapist and Client

Skills and techniques from a master therapist on how to help clients connect to their lives spiritually.
Although a growing number of Americans are turning to spirituality to help explain and supplement their lives, and a vast majority identify as religious, psychotherapy has long been reluctant to work alongside clientsâ€™ sense of â€œsomething bigger.â€ But what kind of resources might a spiritual sensibility offer from a mental health standpoint? How can therapists helpfully and respectfully integrate spiritual feelings into their work with clients?

Bestselling author Bill Oâ€™Hanlon tackles these questions and others in this pioneering foray into the uses and pitfalls of spiritualitiesâ€•both secular and religiousâ€•in a therapeutic setting. Here, spirituality is defined by its three integral components: a feeling of connection to something beyond oneself, a capacity for compassion or â€œfeeling with,â€ and a sense of responsibility to make a contribution to others and to the world.

Each of these â€œ3 Csâ€ comes with illustrative anecdotes, case vignettes, and specific techniques for unlocking clientsâ€™ own spiritual resources. Solution-Oriented Spirituality is Oâ€™Hanlon at his best: erudite, conversational, and committed to mining any resource that might help clients get â€œunstuckâ€ from constrictive behavioral and thought patterns.
