Hathaway and Mark A. Yarhouse. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press Academic, 2021. 199 pages. ISBN: 9780830841837. *Reading The Integration of Psychology and Christianity brought to mind the lively discussions about integration that I had with my fellow undergraduates at Gordon College some twenty years ago. We were hampered in reaching any agreement by the fact that our assigned text, Psychology and Christianity: Four Views,1 presented four authors who each defined integration in their own idiosyncratic way, which then resulted in us students talking past each other. *If only we'd had this book! Hathaway and Yarhouse resolve these confusions by offering a "domain-based approach." Rather than advocating for a particular integration approach, as has been common in integration scholarship, Hathaway and Yarhouse outline the multiplicity of ways in which the Christian psychologist might c...

Numerous attempts have been made to produce an expanded horizon that is faithfully and integrally both Christian and psychological. The current paper explores the role of the concept of “faithful comprehension” as a regulative ideal for integration. This idea is unpacked both in light of externalist epistemology and hermeneutical realism. Some implications for psychological and Christian knowing are considered. The paper concludes by calling Christian psychologists, and Christian psychology training programs, to develop expanded epistemologies that complement what is truth-productive in psychological science with other methods that allow a more complete range of the person to be investigated. Such calls are not unique in the integration literature. Externalism's emphasis on reliable truth production clarifies what must be accomplished by any such expanded psycholo...

The article begins with an overview of the program's history and progression. The basic philosophy of training and program distinctives including integration, supervision, and benchmarks for clinical competency are identified. The impact on community and professional interface are discussed. A curriculum mapping of integrative aspects of our program is described. The rewards and challenges for clinical training are discussed along with the current trends that will likely impact our program in the proximal and distal future. This article addresses several areas regarding clinical training in the ???-accredited doctoral program in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) at Regent University. Our clinical psychology program is a Psy.D. program in the Vail tradition training approximately 20 students per cohort in the practitioner-scholar model. The Vail tradition emphasizes clinical practice of psychology. Regent graduated its first Psy.D. student in 1999 and was first accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 2002. Regent University was founded by Pat Robertson in 1977. The University's original focus has been on training graduate students to be servant leaders in pivotal professions. It has more recently developed undergraduate offerings and is currently transitioning to a comprehensive, multi-level university with growing emphasis on a Christian liberal arts core. The Psy.D. program is housed within a School of Psychology and Counseling, with sister programs in the Counsel on Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) model of counseling, both on campus and online. The unique history of the Psy.D. program, having been born out of the counseling program, has culminated in a collaborative multidisciplinary school. Because we share an admissions office with the related but distinct profession of counseling, we have spent much time exploring the professional self-identity differences between psychology and professional counseling. It is important to note here that we are not discussing counseling psychology but rather professional counseling, a separate field of study from psychology and a distinct profession licensed by different licensing boards and accredited by different accrediting bodies. A complete discussion of these rich issues would be beyond the scope of the current article. But we would like to emphasize that the process of cultivating an affirmative, working relationship between psychology and counseling has motivated both programs to more greatly appreciate their disciplinary distinctives. This has meant for us a greater emphasis on the identity of clinicians with the science of psychology, thereby stressing their primary identity as psychologists to the applied work of clinical practice (i.e., Vail tradition). The Vail model was generated from an influential conference that took place in Vail, Colorado in 1973 (Korman, 1976). The conference called together a number of working groups that made various recommendations for professional training in clinical psychology. They suggested that doctoral programs focused primarily on graduating practitioners rather than scientific researchers award the Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree. This was sometimes identified as a "practitioner" model of training in contrast to the previously-established "Boulder model" that attempted to train its graduates simultaneously as practitioners and scientific researchers (Peterson, 2010; Raimy, 1950). In order to emphasize the importance of scientific thinking despite the delimited focus on training for practitioner career, the practitioner-scholar label emerged. We emphasize the importance of passionately embracing both the skills and existing knowledge base from psychological science for clinical practice with our students. Even prior to admission, we counsel applicants who describe primary interests in pursuing a counseling career without developing a psychological science identity to consider other career paths. …

In terms of Hayes' characterization of the evolution of the cognitive-behavioral tradition through three waves, considerable theoretical, clinical, and empirical work emerged to support a religiously accommodative cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) during the second-generation CBTs. Rather than including religion and spirituality, the third-wave CBT traditions have engaged in spiritual themes inspired heavily from Eastern religious traditions. The authors discuss the application of a religiously congruent third-wave cognitive therapy with a depressed conservatively Christian client. Some conceptual challenges and rationales for adopting such treatments with Christian or other theist clients are described.

Two studies are presented that address this issue. Each study was informed by an endogenous view of spirituality as a clinically relevant functional domain. The first study surveyed clinicians at 4 exemplar clinics. The second study was a national survey of 1,000 clinical psychologists. Both studies found that psychologists believe client religiousness/spirituality to be an important area of functioning. Yet most do not routinely assess the domain or address it in treatment planning. The article concludes by examining the clinical implications of an endogenous perspective on client spirituality and religiousness.

A survey was sent to 204 current APA council representatives and divisional residents, yielding 63 completed questionnaires (31% response rate). Respondents generally affirmed the importance of religion and spirituality as topics of inquiry in psychology. Although not highly religious themselves, respondents recognize religion and spirituality as important aspects of human diversity. In considering the new journal, current APA leaders who responded to the survey are particularly interested in articles relating religion and spirituality to health and coping and articles considering cross-cultural and interfaith issues.
