Psychotherapy and the Spiritual Dimension

About the Book

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION presents a comprehensive view of the history and practices of the major spiritual traditions and their relationship with the modern psychotherapeutic schools.

The book is designed to provide a solid grounding in both the spiritual and the psychotherapeutic traditions for the benefit of mental-health professionals and lay-persons alike.

The author maintains that modern-day therapists may need to expand their notions of cure, arguing that conventional ideas of “adjustment therapy” may well be inadequate to meet the demands of twenty-first-century consciousness evolution.
