“…Moreover, the concept of mutually beneficial collaboration between religious leaders/congregations and psychologists is gaining increased attention (Court, 1997;Kloos, Horneffer, & Moore, 1995;Weaver, Koenig, & Larson, 1997). Although interest is growing, actual efforts have been scarce (Plante, 1999). Initial prevention, consultation, or mutual research efforts will require assessment (e.g., of church structure, group dynamics, etc.…”

Cutrona and Russell's social support model was used to develop a religious support measure (C. E. Cutrona & D. W. Russell, 1987), including 3 distinct but related subscales respectively measuring support from God, the congregation, and church leadership. Factor analyses with the main sample's data (249 Protestants) and cross-validation (93 additional Protestants) supported the scales' reliability and validity. All 3 types of religious support were related to lower depression and greater life satisfaction. Moreover, several relationships between the 3 subscales and psychological functioning variables remained significant after controlling for variance because of church attendance and social support. Results suggest that religious attendance does not automatically imply religious support, and that religious support can provide unique resources for religious persons, above and beyond those furnished by social support. Findings are discussed regarding relevance to community psychology.

“…We have a responsibility to be aware and thoughtful of how religion and spiritual matters impact those with whom we work. Furthermore, when desired by our clients, psychologists and other mental health professionals should work collaboratively with clergy and other religious leaders involved with their pastoral care (McMinn & Dominquez, 2005;Plante, 1999). The 2002 APA Ethics Code states: " Psychologists consult with, refer to, or cooperate with other professionals and institutions to the extent needed to serve the best interest of those with whom they work" (p. 1062).…”

Professional and scientific psychology appears to have rediscovered spirituality and religion during recent years, with a large number of conferences, seminars, workshops, books, and special issues in major professional journals on spirituality and psychology integration. The purpose of this commentary is to highlight some of the more compelling ethical principles and issues to consider in spirituality and psychology integration with a focus on psychotherapy. This commentary will use the American Psychological Association's (2002) Ethics Code and more specifically, the RRICC model of ethics that readily applies to various mental health ethics codes across the world. The RRICC model highlights the ethical values of respect, responsibility, integrity, competence, and concern. Being thoughtful about ethical principles and possible dilemmas as well as getting appropriate training and ongoing consultation can greatly help the professional better navigate these challenging waters.

“…After a needs assessment has been conducted, college counseling center personnel need to make their services known and expand the way these services are delivered (Plante, 1999). Most college counseling centers offer more than counseling services to campus organizations, including outreach programs, consultation services, speaking arrangements, crisis interventions, and supervision (Guinee & Ness, 2000;Stone & Archer, 1993).…”

“…Second, this process allows college counseling center personnel to identify possible impediments to forming a working relationship with campus ministers. For example, some counselors have been trained to minimize the importance of religion in the lives of their clients, which could hinder collaboration (Gartner, Harmatz, Hohmann, Larson, & Gartner, 1990;Miller, 2003;Plante, 1999). The following narrative from a campus minister gives testimony to how important it is for college counseling center personnel to be aware of and to be able to communicate their own beliefs:…”

Brief excerpts from campus ministers' written narratives are included to exemplify this collaboration.eligious diversity and religious involvement by students on secular campuses have increased over the past decade (Cherry, DeBerg, & R Porterfield, 2001;Nash, 2001). According to a recent survey, 80% of college students consider religion to be an integral part of their lives, and 72% reported that they had participated in worship services over a 6-month period
