Those working in the health fields inevitably find themselves in counseling situations with clients or patients whose religious beliefs play a large part in their personal and social lives. Religious beliefs of the counselor or therapist also play an influential role in the provision of counseling services -- albeit often unconsciously. This course will focus on the types of variables that influence the counselor-patient relationship and the role of these variables in provision of professional services.
Through readings, small groups and whole-group discussions, we will address questions such as, what are the healthy and unhealthy personality dynamics of the religious patient? What are the special needs of the religious patient? Why does the religious patient often scare us, as counselors? What if the religious patient is not of our own religion? What if the patient uses religion as a rationalization for unhealthy behavior? What therapeutic strategies have been shown effective with the religious patient? How can we identify and monitor the subtle influence of our own religious biases in working with the patient?
The workshop will be presented by Clara Zilberstein, Ph.D, Clinical Psychologist. Dr. Zilberstein has effectively worked for many years within the religious community and has supervised other professionals on these issues. She is a stimulating, popular workshop leader. |
