ABSTRACT

As the counseling profession has increased focus on spiritual integration into counseling sessions, such integration brings necessary attention to professional ethics. While ethical guidelines mandate that counselors not impose values on clients, this has oftentimes been confused with the false idea that counselors who are Christian may not or cannot practice ethically due to potential conflicts between ethical practice and religious beliefs. This study helps explore professional counselors’ understanding of the integration of Christianity into professional counseling. Such an understanding may help correct biases regarding ethical use of Christianity in professional mental health counseling.

摘要

随着咨询行业越来越关注精神整合到咨询课程中，这种整合带来了对职业道德的必要关注。虽然道德准则要求辅导员不要将价值观强加给客户，但这常常与以下错误观念相混淆，即由于道德实践和宗教信仰之间的潜在冲突，基督徒辅导员可能不会或不能道德实践。本研究有助于探索专业辅导员对基督教融入专业辅导的理解。这种理解可能有助于纠正在专业心理健康咨询中对基督教道德使用的偏见。
