Publisher's Synopsis
The Clinicians Guide to Spiritual Emergence is dedicated to all clinicians who have the courage to stand for an expanded awareness of spiritual, religious, and transpersonal experiences.
Individually and as a society, we are moving forward into a new paradigm of health and wellness never before seen in human history. Within the clinical community, this shift has sparked a more profound understanding of the ways in ways we can and must rise to meet the needs of clients in order to support them in all aspects of the human experience.
As clinicians, we collectively have the power to help improve the systemic health and well-being of our communities, spiritually, mentally, and physically. This goes beyond the admonition to do no harm; it is a calling to support life-changing and potentially life-altering experiences that have the potential to shape clients view of self and of the world.
The Clinicians Guide to Spiritual Emergence is an in-depth exploration of the evolution taking place in clinical work today. Through the telling and analysis of individual stories, it distinguishes between experiences historically labeled psychosis, spiritual emergence, and spiritual emergencies, which provides an opportunity for awakening and healing.
