Spirituality and Clinical Interventions: Ethical Considerations

Spirituality is a globally acknowledged concept which involves a sense of connection to something greater than oneself. It reflects how individuals seek to fulfill their life's purpose, search for meaning, and cultivate a sense of connectedness to the universe and others. Research strongly indicates that spirituality provides many clients with a valuable framework for coping with life's

challenges in meaningful ways. Clinicians have increasingly recognized the importance of spirituality and religion within the therapeutic relationship, striving to integrate these elements while upholding ethical principles. By fostering open, respectful dialogue, we can navigate these sometimes challenging dynamics and support clients in ways that honor their spiritual beliefs and enhance their overall well-being.
