The John Templeton Foundation funded a $3.57 million project investigating the integration of spiritual practices in psychotherapy. Research teams evaluated spiritual interventions in over 60 facilities globally, gathering extensive data from 32,000 therapy sessions with around 9,000 clients. The study aimed to analyze what interventions therapists apply, their frequency, and their impact on treatment outcomes. Findings, published in a 2024 APA journal, reveal diverse spiritual interventions effectively enhance therapeutic processes, offering a robust understanding of spiritually integrated treatment methodologies.
We reported some of our project's findings in an article published in 2024 in the American Psychological Association's Journal of Counseling Psychology, 71(4), 291-303.
Our research teams employed practice-based evidence research designs to evaluate the processes and outcomes of spiritually integrated treatment approaches at over 60 mental health facilities across eight countries.
This represents the most comprehensive dataset currently available on spiritually integrated treatment approaches, allowing us to analyze the effectiveness of these methods.
We collaboratively gathered client outcome and therapist process data from more than 32,000 therapy sessions involving approximately 9000 unique clients.
