Abstract

Many individuals seeking psychological services refer to their religious or spiritual beliefs during treatment (Shafranske and Maloney in Psychotherapy 27: 72-78, 1990). Although psychology has consistently pathologized religion and/or spirituality in the past, it is vital that clinicians understand their impact on diagnosis and treatment. The evolution of the DSM, as explored in this manuscript, is evidence of continued attempts to expand clinicians' religious and/or spiritual sensitivity. In order for religion to be incorporated as a cultural component, psychologists need appropriate training. The author concludes with a case illustration and recommendations for continued development of religion as a cultural factor in the DSM-V.
