| Summary: | Taking cues from the dual professional roles of psychologist and ordained clergyperson, the critiques of Rarnbo and DeMarinis are considered from within a concern for what counselors of all types must do in the Western cultural context of limited duration for ther- apy and a functional definition of health that focuses on social functioning. Although ac- knowledging that Nelson (1978) may have been misread, the lack of a necessary spiritual dimension to sexuality is reasserted. Further, disagreement is expressed with an immanentist point of view that finds spirituality to be an inevitable dimension of life that is typically expressed noninstitutionally. The response proposes both a functionallsub- stantive approach to defining religion coupled with a preference for studying the manifes- tations of religious expressions as opposed to religious experiences. |
