Very slight separation between the abstract and dedication pages, but the binding is quite solid. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this scarce work. Not in OCLC. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~B~ [2.5P] Some therapists and counselors face challenges with clients who wish to integrate religious and/or spiritual beliefs into their treatment plan. The author examined the lived experiences of adults in Palm Springs, California who self-identified as practicing Christians and who claimed to be able to make a connection with the divine. The study used both semi-standardized interviews and photo elicitation to gather data about the participants' experiences in connecting with God. The data analysis for this study used phenomenological interpretation techniques established by Husserl (1931/1962) and Giorgi (1997). The results of this study revealed the human-divine connection to be a complex dichotomous experience that may prove useful in the psychotherapeutic treatment process.
