42% of Americans have seen a counselor at some point, and out of those that do not, almost just as much percentage is open to therapy-more Millennials and GenXers than Boomers and elders.
One in three non-Christians acknowledges seeking treatment for mental illness, more than twice the percentage of practicing Christians who have gone to counseling for this purpose.
In the US, there are still more people who identify as Christian than any other country, but a decline among mainline Protestants and Catholics and a slight rise in Evangelicals and non-Christian faiths, especially among Muslims and Hindus.
The book's topic is timely, addressing mental health issues and different ways of treating them.
Many of the US's 46 million unaffiliated adults are religious or spiritual in some way. Two-thirds say they believe in God and over half say they often feel a deep connection with nature and the earth. More than a third classify themselves as "spiritual" but not "religious."
When it comes to working with a therapist, people with strong spiritual or religious beliefs prefer to work with someone who will integrate their beliefs and values in therapy (Gallup poll).
Only 13% of a representative sample of graduate programs in the US include coursework addressing religion and psychology.
A study of clinical social workers suggests that although the majority of clinicians believe that discussing clients' religious and spiritual views would be valuable to the therapeutic process, only a minority of clinicians end up doing so in practice.
AUDIENCE:
Counselor training programs

Alexandra Hepburn has a master's degree in special education from Teachers College, Columbia University, and received her PhD in human development from the University of Pennsylvania in 1983. She has been in private practice as a counselor since 1994, focusing on loss and grief, life transitions, and spirituality. In her twenty-six-year faculty role at Antioch University Seattle, she taught courses on loss and grief, personality theory, developmental psychology, and the interplay of psychology and spirituality. She also coordinated a non-clinical master's degree program in psychology and spirituality. After living on both US coasts, Hepburn has now settled among cedar trees and near a beach in the Pacific Northwest.
