Abstract | Research has evidenced the significant contribution of religious/spiritual beliefs, in improving one’s mental wellbeing. This is of relevance to the profession of clinical psychology and is reflected in guidelines from professional bodies, which specify that the beliefs of clients should be explored and respected by healthcare professionals. Interestingly, mental health professionals who hold religious/spiritual beliefs may address the beliefs of their clients in diverse ways, due to the significance of their own beliefs. Thus it is suggested that there is a need to understand one’s relationship to religion/spirituality, in order to appropriately attend to a client’s beliefs. However, there is no guidance on how to manage conflicting beliefs in the therapeutic relationship, with colleagues or the NHS context. Furthermore, there is limited guidance on managing self-disclosure. There is a gap in the research on the experiences of clinical psychologists who hold religious/spiritual beliefs, which this study hopes to address. The aim of the present research was to explore the narratives of Christian and Muslim, qualified and trainee clinical psychologists working in the NHS. |
