Atheism and Nonspirituality as Diversity Issues in Counseling
D'Andrea, Livia M.; Sprenger, Johann
Counseling and Values, v51 n2 p149 Jan 2007
Counseling professionals have begun to realize that, in order to be as effective as possible, counselors must explore and understand the spiritual and religious beliefs of their clients. The literature on client belief systems and diversity, however, does not include discussion of individuals without religious or spiritual beliefs. The purpose of this article is to (a) suggest that atheism and nonspirituality should be included in the multiculturalism conversation and (b) offer ways that counselors might effectively help and nurture such clients.
