Religion and spirituality have been topics of interest to psychologists since the inception of the field, and this special issue devoted to spirituality and psychotherapy reflects the maturation of decades of research. Psychotherapy clients would like to discuss religious or spiritual issues with therapists, but therapists feel poorly prepared to do so. This special issue hopefully represents a step towards bridging the needs of clients and the expertise of providers. The seven articles in this issue reflect the progress psychologists have made toward understanding religion and spirituality, and they represent state-of-the-art attempts at integrating these dimensions into treatment.
自心理学领域创立以来，宗教与精神性一直是心理学家感兴趣的话题，而这一专门探讨精神性与心理治疗的特刊反映了数十年研究的成熟。心理治疗的来访者希望与治疗师讨论宗教或精神性问题，但治疗师觉得自己在这方面准备不足。希望这一特刊是朝着弥合来访者需求与从业者专业知识之间差距迈出的一步。本期的七篇文章反映了心理学家在理解宗教与精神性方面所取得的进展，它们代表了将这些维度融入治疗的前沿尝试。
