Why is it important?
I became editor-in-chief of Spirituality in Clinical Practice in 2019 and hope to build on the terrific work of founding editors, Lisa Miller and Len Sperry. We hope to offer more special issues and sections on compelling contemporary topics and include diverse voices from researchers and clinicians across the globe. Spirituality and religion is often ignored in the professional psychology research and practice communities. It is an element of diversity that gets little attention. We hope to address this issue most especially since most people who seek psychological services come from religious or spiritual backgrounds and their needs should be considered and addressed in clinical practice.
Perspectives
We have a diverse group of associate and consulting editors from rich backgrounds that add the much needed diverse perspective to the management of the journal. As a team we have many areas of expertise and interest represented.
