Culturally Responsive Mental Health Practice with Nonreligious Clients

This is a comprehensive guide that equips mental health professionals with the research, techniques, and skills for effective practice with nonreligious clients-one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in the US. This book provides a historical background, highlights the unique strengths and challenges of being nonreligious, and offers practical recommendations for mental health specialists to better serve this population. It focuses on the intersections of race, gender, class, and sexualities among nonreligious individuals and challenges the negative biases and stigmas that exist about nonreligious people in both the general public and among mental health professionals. Filled with visual aids, concept maps, and hands-on tools, this book provides an essential resource for mental health educators, clinicians, researchers, and advocates.
