Many mental health clients express a desire to have their spiritual
needs addressed in therapy, and research indicates that spirituality can
positively impact mental health. Such findings have led to the
development of numerous spiritually-integrated therapies, many of which
are based on a Christian framework. This book presents the findings of a
survey of 67 Christian clients' experiences of Refocussing Therapy. This
spiritually-integrated form of counselling seeks to facilitate active
engagement with, and experience of God. Clients attributed much of the
resolution for their problems to God's intervention via a concept
developed by Dr Diane Divett, God Spaces(TM). It is the spiritual
component of her Refocussing Therapy. The findings suggest the potential
benefits of incorporating an experiential spiritual aspect into therapy
with Christians, and are of relevance to counsellors desiring to respond
more effectively to the spiritual needs of Christian clients. (God
