Abstract

Stress in America and across the globe is high with so many ongoing societal problems. The COVID-19 global pandemic along with accelerating climate change, increasing economic instability and inequality, divisive politics and an increase in authoritarianism, racism, and discrimination against those who are oppressed and marginalized are just a few current examples. Evidence suggests that mental health problems and demand for services have exploded as well. Psychotherapists who are well versed in spiritual and religious integration in their clinical work can help. While therapists cannot solve the country's and world's numerous problems, they can help their clientele better cope and manage the distress that they experience though highlighting several spiritual and religiously based tools that are commonly available and supported among diverse spiritual and religious traditions. The purpose of this clinical reflection is to encourage clinicians to use five especially relevant spiritual and religious tools with their clientele that include (a) underscoring the sacredness of all;(b) learning to accept others, even with faults;(c) focusing on spiritual modeling;(d) encouraging virtues of forgiveness, kindness, gratitude, and compassion;and (e) incorporating ethics into daily decision-making. A brief explanation of each tool along with clinical case examples are presented here. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

五个精神为基础的工具，临床实践在挑战，压力，和世界末日的时代。

美国和全球的压力很大，有这么多持续存在的社会问题。新冠肺炎全球大流行，加上气候变化加速，经济不稳定和不平等加剧，政治分裂，威权主义、种族主义和对被压迫和边缘化者的歧视加剧，只是目前的几个例子。有证据表明，心理健康问题和对服务的需求也呈爆炸式增长。在临床工作中精通精神和宗教融合的心理治疗师可以提供帮助。虽然治疗师无法解决国家和世界上的众多问题，但他们可以通过强调几种在不同的精神和宗教传统中普遍可用和支持的基于精神和宗教的工具，帮助客户更好地应对和管理他们所经历的痛苦。这种临床反思的目的是鼓励临床医生对他们的客户使用五种特别相关的精神和宗教工具，包括（a）强调所有人的神圣性；（b）学会接受他人，即使有过错；（c）注重精神造型；（d）鼓励宽恕、善良、感恩和同情的美德；（e）将道德操守纳入日常决策。这里简要介绍了每种工具以及临床案例。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）

期刊介绍： Spirituality in Clinical Practice ® (SCP) is a practice-oriented journal that encompasses spiritually-oriented psychotherapy and spirituality-sensitive cultural approaches to treatment and wellness. SCP is dedicated to integrating psychospiritual and other spiritually-oriented interventions involved in psychotherapy, consultation, coaching, health, and wellness. SCP provides a forum for those engaged in clinical activities to report on — and dialogue about — their activities to inform treatment models and future research initiatives. SCP fosters original scientific development in the field by highlighting actual and potential professional applications of spirituality in clinical practice. SCP seeks to initiate research questions through clinical insight and to introduce practice approaches supported or guided by existing research. SCP welcomes application of models from the related fields of medicine, integrative medicine, biology, neuroscience, ethnology, anthropology, and natural sciences. Research articles are highly encouraged on clinical conceptualization or settings, including studies on models, processes, or treatment approaches. Treatment studies may include clinical trials at any phase; studies on feasibility, curative factors, strategy, process, efficacy, or effectiveness; and meta-analytic or mixed-methods studies.
