In this episode, we interview Russell Siler Jones who is developing the Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy (SIP) program with ACPE. The program will help therapists increase their knowledge and skills for working with their clients’ spirituality, as well as helping therapists learn ethically appropriate ways of drawing upon their own spirituality in the therapeutic relationship. SIP is currently in its pilot stage, but you can sign up to learn more on the ACPE website.
