Psychospiritual Integration

More and more in today's psychotherapy field we see incorporated into psychotherapeutic schools of thought the concept of spirituality and the important role it plays in mental and emotional well-being. I highly recommend a book entitled The Seekers Guide written by Elizabeth Lesser. Elizabeth Lesser is the cofounder and Senior advisor of the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York. The Omega Institute is now America's largest adult education center focusing on wellness and spirituality. She has worked with many of the eminent thinkers of our times, including the Zen masters, rabbis, Christian monks, psychologists, scientists, and an array of noted American figures-from LA Lakers coach Phil Jackson to author Maya Angelou. Lesser found that by combining a variety of religions, psychological, and healing traditions, each of us has the unique ability to satisfy our spiritual hunger. From her own auto biographical search for spiritual meaning while growing up in the 60s, to the way she has organized her book into the Landscape of the Mind, Landscape of the Heart, Landscape of the Body and the Landscape of the Soul she provides counselors and therapists with excellent resources to satisfy their own spiritual search as well as helping their clients do the same. In addition her appendix in the back of the book provides suggested readings, audio tapes and music to accompany each segment that the book is divided into. I highly recommend this is a great resource for anyone who is trying to satisfy their search for meaning or their clients search for meaning in today's culture.
