Because of the emergence of empirical findings, addressing religious and spiritual (R/S) issues in counseling has gained importance over the past 20 years. A division of the American Counseling Association (ACA) is dedicated to the promotion of ethically addressing R/S through the establishment of 14 competencies. This presentation will review the research, the 14 competencies, and give special attention given to the presenter’s own processes/techniques for assessing spirituality in counseling and assessment in non-faith-based facilities.
Objectives:
- Following this presentation, participants will be able to discuss and cite at least two research studies on the importance of assessing and addressing a client’s spirituality.
- Following this presentation, participants will be able to identify the 14 competencies of the Association of Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC) on how to ethically address R/S issues in counseling.
- Following this presentation, participants will be able to identify and discuss the Tennessee Rules governing the scope of practice for LPCs regarding spirituality, as well as discussing and applying one or more techniques on how to ethically assess R/S.
