An Integration of Spiritual Beliefs into the Transtheoretical Model

The Transtheoretical Model of Psychotherapy, first developed by Prochaska and Norcross, is an effective tool in counselling clients with many different problems. However, the model in its current form fails to take account of a client's religious or spiritual beliefs, and how these may have an impact on the client's ability to engage with - and benefit from - therapy. In this book, Sarah Royle looks at the evidence for the need to take account of such beliefs, and proposes an amendment to the Transtheoretical Model which could help practitioners give clients with religious or spiritual beliefs a better experience of counselling and psychotherapy.
