These chapters on religious and spiritual diversity are by psychotherapists, for psychotherapists. People in the daily practice of helping patients have learned to appreciate each person amp rsquo s uniqueness. This book mirrors the way we can generalize from unique cases, as each chapter author tells their story. Whether you are training for practice, practicing in your professional prime, or looking for ways to stave off burnout, this collection will stimulate, educate, invigorate, and update you. - Everett L. Worthington, Jr., PhD, Commonwealth Professor Emeritus, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA This groundbreaking book not only adds to the knowledge of diversity-related issues-both religious/spiritual and cultural-in psychotherapy, it accomplishes this goal in a most creative and engaging way: by blending scholarship, clinical case examples, and fascinating personal background stories of the therapists themselves.- Julie J. Exline, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH This is a particularly important book at a critical juncture in the development of spiritually-integrated psychotherapy (SIP). While other books have addressed diversity in SIP, Steve Sandage, Brad Strawn, and the chapter contributors have elevated the theory and practice of it to the next level. An amazing accomplishment!- Len Sperry, MD, PhD, Professor, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL; author of Spirituality in Clinical Practice: Theory and Practice of Spiritually Oriented Psychotherapy, Second Edition
