Spirituality in the Counseling Session

Description

I need a research proposal. The writing style will be  in Chicago Turbian style with annotations.  Therefore, the problem is that Christian Counselors struggle to integrate Spirituality and Religion into the counseling session. Additionally, the hypothesis is that Christian Counselors who lack formalized religious and spiritual training over pathologize and diagnose patients who describe themselves as religious and/or spiritual.  Hence the reason the research is needed is because educational institutions both religious and secular institutions of the western culture fail to adequately meet the needs of the counselee or client because even when they view man as dichotomous, they do not have the education, understanding to bring the triune parts of man together.

Further guidelines for strategic planning

Consequently many other cultures seem to have no problem with seeing man as mind, body and soul. True Integration means crossing the aisles and working with others with specialities. It also means working together with people of faith for the medical community and vice versa for people of faith in order to holstically and adequately meet the needs of the counselee/client.
