Ethical Integration of Spiritually-Oriented CBT into Practice with Bereaved Adults 

The death of a friend, spouse, or adult child is a life changing biopsychosocial-spiritual experience that a rising number of persons over the age of 65 navigate yearly. This population often derives comfort from their religion/spiritual worldview and may seek guidance within the coping domain. This engaging, case-based course outlines ethical strategies for integrating the religion/spiritual domain across therapeutic processes and utilizing Spiritually-Oriented CBT methods in advancing the meaning-making process and inner life adjustment of bereaved older adults. The course discusses best practices in assessment and treatment relevant to supporting those navigating identity, social role, self-esteem, or psychological health changes.

Learning Objectives:

1. Compare and contrast the characteristics of religion and spirituality in relation to assessment and treatment.

2. Describe practical strategies for integrating the religion/spiritual domain across therapeutic processes in accordance with the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics.

3. Explain Spiritually-Oriented CBT methods in relation to person-centered assessment and treatment of bereaved older adults.

4. Apply best practices in spiritual integration across therapeutic processes to practice through case study analysis.

5. Translate Spiritually-Oriented CBT methods to practice utilizing a case study.
