When considering the topic of spirituality and its impact on the clients we serve, it is important to distinguish between spirituality and religion. In this section we will look at the impact of religion as it informs culture. As well, we will realize the impact of spirituality on the efficacy of therapeutic interventions associated with behavioral modification.
This will be further unpacked during the discussion part of this topic.
As well, age is an important component defining our clientele. It is one of the major predictors of human behavior rivaling socio-economic status and readiness for change. Insights into the generationally informed utilities of our clients has proven helpful in developing intervention strategies.
