Sam Menahem, a clinical psychologist in Northern New Jersey, proposes the development of a spiritual psychotherapy. After a broad discussion on early development, he brings us thoughtful discussions on a variety of issues around introducing spiritual awareness, particularly through prayer, in psychotherapy, illustrated with his own experience. He reviews ways in which early psychological development can shape our ways of being in the world, including our spiritual development. Various problems are discussed and cases presented to illustrate how spirituality facilitated the therapy – including relationships, addictions, anxiety and depression.
