Abstract
ABSTRACT Spiritual competency encompasses the ability to conceptualize and utilize a client’s spiritual experience in clinical contexts while mitigating one’s own bias through self-awareness and knowledge. In this article, spiritual competency in clinical work with children is explored. Findings showed an interplay between conceptualization and participation in such settings. A framework of spiritual competency in clinical work with children was developed, and a need for further professional support in this area became apparent.
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.
