Enhancing the evidence base for spiritually integrated psychotherapies: Progressing the paradigm of practice-based evidence.

Practice-based evidence for spiritually integrated psychotherapies: Examining trajectories of psychological and spiritual distress.

“…R/S are core domains of diversity and psychological functioning that can be a source of strength and/or struggle among people who are contending with mental health-related issues that might lead them to seek psychotherapy. PBE research is needed to clarify processes and outcomes of SIPs that are routinely implemented in the United States and worldwide (Captari et al, 2022; Richards & Barkham, 2022; Richards et al, 2015). Focusing on adult clients who were seeking SIPs across 37 clinics and other settings in a practice-research network, over 90% of these persons were affiliated with a religious tradition, deemed R/S as important to them, wanted to discuss their R/S in sessions, and/or were interested in suggestions of a religious or spiritual nature from clinicians.…”

“…Materials and analysis code for this study are not currently available via a repository; please contact the first author if interested in accessing the data or other study materials. To date, findings and methods for individual studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Richards & Barkham, 2022) and an edited book (Richards et al, 2023). Drawing upon a common routine outcome monitoring (ROM) system used across the research sites, this study is the first attempt to analyze an aggregated data set from the independent investigations in the practice-research network.…”

“…Building on findings from controlled outcome studies, practicebased evidence (PBE) research is needed to examine how practicing clinicians actually attend to their clients' R/S in sessions and whether varying types of spiritual interventions are linked with clinical outcomes (Captari et al, 2022;Richards & Barkham, 2022;Richards et al, 2015). Developed as a research strategy to complement randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that evaluate a specific treatment package for a particular condition (e.g., R-CBT for major depression disorder; Koenig et al, 2016), PBE studies utilize information from real-time, session-to-session assessments from clinicians to understand psychotherapy in the context of their routine practice (Barkham et al, 2010;Castonguay et al, 2021).…”

An integrative literature review: design and stages of peace group counselling as peace counselor/educator strategies for fostering a peace mindset

“…KH Ahmad Dahlan is a figure who combines religious knowledge and general knowledge [59]- [61], which only appears in the world of education in Indonesia. Meanwhile, PGC also combines a spiritual paradigm with the emergence of peaceful thoughts with inner nuances that grow according to God's ways and cognitive therapy because cognitive behavioral therapy is integrated with religious and psycho-spiritual wellbeing [62].…”

Psychotherapists’ experience with spirituality and religiousness in psychotherapy: A qualitative meta-analysis.

“…As a result, the therapists in the primary studies indicated that they do not feel confident or competent enough to address S/R in therapy (Van Asselt & Senstock, 2009). Furthermore, the demand for specific multicultural competencies, with an emphasis on S/R competencies, is rising in psychotherapy (Vieten & Lukoff, 2022), and numerous integrative S/R treatment approaches across theoretical orientations have been developed (Anderson et al, 2015;Richards & Barkham, 2022). Overall, these approaches were equally effective compared to standard psychotherapies for psychological outcomes (Captari et al, 2018) and, for S/R clients or S/R issues, they outperformed standard approaches (Bouwhuis-Van Keulen et al, 2024).…”
