| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of the utilization of spirituality in clinical counseling and the need for spirituality to be integrated into counseling curriculums.

These variables were examined in relation to clinical counselors' prevalence of utilization of spirituality in counseling. The following demographic variables were also analyzed: gender, race, education, license, employment, work experience, work setting, and annual income.
The investigation included a review and critique of related literature. Primary variables addressed included the following: the use of spirituality, formal training, experience, knowledge, perceptions, and personal stressors. |
