We report a survey in a near-representative sample of 895 German psychotherapists. Fifty-seven percent of the respondents referred to themselves as either spiritual or religious. Psychotherapists estimated that on average 22% of their patients bring in topics around spirituality and religion during the course of therapy. Two-thirds thought that topics around spirituality and religion should be part of the postgraduate and/or graduate curriculum. There was a clear difference between therapeutic orientations regarding how they felt about such issues, with CBT and psychodynamically oriented therapists placing less emphasis on spiritual issues and integrative and humanistic therapists more. However, differences between schools were less important than commonalities. We conclude that spirituality and religiosity are important topics for training and further research.
我们报告了一项针对 895 名德国心理治疗师的代表性样本的调查。57%的受访者自称是精神上或宗教上的。心理治疗师估计，平均有 22%的患者在治疗过程中会涉及到与精神和宗教相关的话题。三分之二的人认为精神和宗教相关的话题应该成为研究生和/或本科课程的一部分。在如何看待这些问题上，不同的治疗取向之间存在明显的差异，CBT 和心理动力学取向的治疗师对精神问题的重视程度较低，而整合和人本主义取向的治疗师则更为重视。然而，学校之间的差异不如共同点重要。我们的结论是，灵性和宗教信仰是培训和进一步研究的重要课题。
