PY 667 - Psychology and Spirituality

(3.00 cr.)

The intersection of psychology and spirituality is explored in a variety of ways. Students examine how spirituality enhances people's lives to reduce their levels of stress and distress; promotes health; and helps them live fuller, more transcendent lives. Through reading, reflection, discussion, and writing, students also explore the issue of spirituality in the psychological lives of individuals and examine how to respond to spiritual needs and issues in the therapeutic context.
