摘要
Research is lacking on the spiritual values of secular-based marriage and family therapists, who have the highest percentage of practitioners active in religious or spiritual activities compared to other licensed professionals. Research on lived experiences of secular-based marriage and family therapists who engage the spiritual resources of their clients is sparse. This study attempted to provide qualitative phenomenological research on how spiritual values were considered, incorporated, and utilized by secular-based marriage and family therapists when considering three spiritual-based case scenarios. The themes and patterns of their responses are offered to expand the intersection of family therapy and spirituality.
