integrating spirituality in work with clients. Robert, Kelly, and
their contributors have done an excellent job of addressing
diversity issues with a variety of client populations across

the literature that I strongly recommend to all counseling
professionals."--Richard E. Watts, PhD,

terrific addition to any course on spirituality in counseling,
practicum, or internship, if spirituality is akin to finding
meaning in life, it is relevant to any presenting issue in
counseling."--Janine M. Bernard, PhD, Professor
