Christmas, Christopher; Van Horn, Stacy M.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v37 n3 p170-201 2012
The use of spirituality as a resource for clients within the counseling field is growing; however, the primary focus has been on individual therapy. The purpose of this article is to provide counseling practitioners, administrators, and researchers with an approach for incorporating spiritual psychoeducation into group work. The proposed model can be utilized in various settings from residential treatment to outpatient practice. This model is named SPARC, which denotes Spiritual Psychoeducation, Activities, Reflection, and Connection. It incorporates four components built on the foundation of being a competent counselor for spiritual psychoeducation groups. Detailed examples of six sessions are provided. (Contains 2 tables.)
