- Summary:
- Religion can play a vital role in the way people relate to each other, particularly within a family. The Role of Religion in Marriage and Family Counseling provides an overview of the principles of the major world religions and the many ways that religion can impact the family dynamic. Onedera and her colleagues address how each religion influences traditional roles within marriage and family, child bearing and rearing, abortion, divorce, homosexuality, death and dying. Also discussed are specific clinical issues, such as the role of forgiveness, interfaith marriages, and the practitioner's own religion in therapy, making this volume an effective and valuable resource.
