โฆ Synopsis
The purpose of this article is to describe how the dimension of spirituality can be added to an existing counseling t h e o y , multimodal therapy (MMT; A. A. Lazarus, 2984), to provide counselors with a practical approach to incorporating clients' religious and spiritual beliefs in the counseling process. An explanation of M M T is given, I S well as its supporting research. The context of spirituality in counseling is discussed, and the process b y which it can be integrated into the M M T model is explained. T w o case studies are described to demonstrate how spiritual issues can be assessed and used to strengthen the counseling process. Finally, implications for counseling are discussed. Choosing to ignore the spiritual component of wellness out of fear or ignorance is somewhat irresponsible of those in health service fields. (Chandler, Holden, & Kolander, 1992, p. 174
