Specific resources (workshops and retreats) and treatment methods (journal-keeping and imagery) were particularly helpful. Emerging themes were self-trust and the interrelationship of spirituality and human behavior. Recovering alcoholics emphasized a Higher Power or God, an interconnectedness with others that transcended each one's individuality, and personal growth that involved letting go of egocentricity. Study findings suggest that clinicians affirm their client's spiritual resources, be aware that these resources exist independent of the client's and clinician's orientation toward spirituality or a belief system, and consider and promote ways of tapping into and engaging the fundamental part and the essence of the client's identity. Increasing indications that body, mind, and spirit are interrelated support the need to identify specifically which interventions are effective and under what conditions. References
