Abstract

Practical guidelines for working with strictly religious patients are presented: (1) cooperation with the patient's spiritual mentor to reduce the patient's resistance, (2) examination of the therapist's own religious attitudes to modify countertransferential feelings, (3) acquisition of knowledge of the patient's religion to facilitate interviewing, and help distinguish belief from delusion, and ritual from compulsion.
