ABSTRACT

This handbook for clinicians focuses on the impact of religion and spirituality on the client, using the clinical sociological theory of identity empowerment. The ten concepts of this theory show how identity can be expressed in value choices: self; dyad; triad; family; religion; definition of the situation; reference group; class culture; and society. The professor includes case studies and strategies for intervention at the end of each cahpter.
