Abstract

ABSTRACT This study tested hypotheses about client preferences and functioning based on a relational spirituality model of psychotherapy in a sample (N = 101) of adult clients at a community mental health center in the northeastern United States. Most clients wanted to engage spiritual, religious, and existential issues in treatment and this preference was positively related to both spiritual/religious commitment and questing. Clients’ ratings of therapist diversity sensitivity were associated with ratings of treatment progress over and above the working alliance. Client spiritual well-being and spiritual struggles predicted their psychosocial functioning over and above mental health symptoms. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

检验心理治疗来访者偏好和功能的关系灵性模型

本研究在美国东北部一家社区心理健康中心的成人客户样本(N = 101)中，基于心理治疗的关系灵性模型检验了关于客户偏好和功能的假设。大多数客户希望在治疗中涉及精神、宗教和存在问题，这种偏好与精神/宗教承诺和探索呈正相关。来访者对治疗师多样性敏感性的评分与治疗进展的评分高于工作联盟。病人的精神健康和精神斗争比心理健康症状更能预测他们的社会心理功能。讨论了临床和研究意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health is an interdisciplinary professional journal (retiled from American Journal of Pastoral Counseling to better reflect its broader scope) that is devoted to the scholarly study of spirituality as a resource for counseling and psychotherapeutic disciplines. This peer-reviewed quarterly journal seeks to enhance the understanding of spirituality as a core component of human well-being in individual, relational, and communal life. Leading authorities provide insights into research and effective therapy in an interdisciplinary dialog that crosses the disciplines of psychology, spirituality, theology, sociology, cultural analysis, and other fields.
