Spiritual abuse is not just relevant for those who have been members of cults—-it is a very real condition that often occurs in individuals who have been abused, or who struggle with addiction issues. In this workshop, theories of spiritual abuse and approaches to understanding it are explored through pastoral, developmental, and clinical lenses. Generally defined as the use of God or religion as tools to gain power and control by the abuser, spiritual abuse is one of the most overlooked forms of abuse in clinical settings; however, the willingness to address it will give clinicians added insight into many of their clients and how to more effectively and holistically address treatment. Case studies, personal reflection, and other critical thinking activities will help participants understand how the construct of spiritual abuse is relevant to clinical practice and apply this knowledge to assessment and treatment planning.
This course is based on the audio, Understanding and Treating Spiritual Abuse created by Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, LICDC-CS
