Abstract

In this qualitative study, we explored spirituality discourses using survey responses of 141 psychotherapy masters and doctoral students to the following open-ended request: “Please describe how you define spirituality for yourself.” Findings indicated that spirituality discourses played out in the following areas: (a) spirituality as relational connection, (b) spirituality as individually defined, (c) spirituality as relative and unspecific, and (d) spirituality as manifestation of power dynamics. We discussed how these results fit with extant literature on clinical training and spirituality, and we delineated how clinical supervisors and mental health educators can apply these results to their work with graduate students.
