dc.description.abstractReligious and/or spiritual (R-S) beliefs and practices are often highly important in the lives of those experiencing psychosis. Often, individuals with psychosis will utilize aspects of their R-S beliefs and practices to cope with distressing aspects of their illness, and at the same time, the hallucinations and delusions that accompany psychosis often contain R-S themes. Despite the potential benefits of engaging with R-S beliefs and practices, a lack of R-S competency among mental health practitioners can seriously hinder appropriate assessment and treatment planning. This paper offers practical guidelines for mental health practitioners to effectively support these individuals, recognizing the significance of R-S beliefs and practices in their experiences and recovery.
