SPIRITUALITY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

spirituality and psychotherapy are two different entities that are always in conflict. Moreover spirituality cannot be totally separated from religion. For the purpose of our paper we consider spirituality as "the personal ,relational aspect of religion.it is about an individual's innerlife, ideals, attitudes, thoughts, feelings and prayers towards the Divine , and about how he or she expressess these in daily way of life". If this is the case therapist would have a difficullt time in handling clients coming from different religious backgrounds. so we thought of focussing on whether the spirituality of the client and that of the therapist conflict. If it conflicts how does the therapist handle it? Whether the therapist has the right to introduce spirituality even without the consent of the client? How does the therapist face the clients with different kinds of spirituality? We thought of interviewing psychotherapists and clinical psychologists .
