Working with Harmful Spirituality and Religion

February 24, 2023 | 10:00 am to 1:00 pm Eastern Time


Presenter: Tere Tyner Canzoneri

Target Audience: Clinical social workers and graduate students

Content level: Intermediate (assumes understanding of psychotherapeutic process, no advanced knowledge of the webinar topic is needed)

CE credits: 3 (Clinical)

About the webinar:

The word psychotherapy means “care of the soul” (from the Greek psyche + therapeia). While the history of psychotherapy includes theorists and practitioners with a bias against spirituality and religion, there have always been those who found effective ways to include spiritual wisdom in psychotherapeutic work. In recent years, there has been an outpouring of research and instruction in spiritually integrated psychotherapy, and empirical evidence demonstrating the therapeutic efficacy of attending to clients’ spiritual beliefs and practices.

This workshop is one module of the 30 hour Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy curriculum presented by ACPE: the Standard for Spiritual Care and Education (www.acpe.edu). This presentation focuses on (1) What harmful spirituality and religion look like, (2) how spirituality and religion become harmful, and (3) how to engage harmful spirituality and religion. The Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy (SIP) Training Program is a multi-disciplinary, inter-spiritual, multi-racial community of persons gathered for education, connection, and formation in the work of spiritually integrated psychotherapy. It serves licensed and pre-licensed mental health professionals (i.e., counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, pastoral counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, addiction specialists, and more), as well as graduate students in any of those disciplines, who seek to explore the ways spirituality, religion, and the search for meaning influence their own lives and the lives of their clients.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this webinar participants will be able to: 

  1. Describe the benefits of integrating spirituality and religion into psychotherapy.
  2. Identify elements of harmful spirituality or religion.
  3. Discuss how spirituality and religion become harmful.
  4. Discuss strategies for countering the impact of harmful spirituality or religion.
