Discussing spirituality and religion in the therapy room is increasingly accepted, some even forgetting that integration of psychology and Christianity was once a rare thing.Embodying Integration
"In Embodying Integration, Neff and McMinn wonderfully accomplish the goal stated in their subtitle-A Fresh Look at Christianity in the Therapy Room. Their transparent and conversational writing style is enlivening and consistentwith their stated values, yet their perspectives remain richly informed by psychological research, theological reflection, and clinical wisdom. The opening chapter on lament is worth the price of the book and takes us deep into their personal commitments to integrating spirituality, honesty, and compassion. At a time when many of us are weary of overly cognitive or idealistic discussions of 'integration,' this book can help us sense the rhythms of a more relational and fully embodied approach to both clinical practice and our lived theologies and psychologies."
