Abstract
This is a qualitative study to examine the positive therapeutic outcomes of integrating religious and spiritual practices and traditional mental health services. The study looked at the experiences and outcomes of clients who were using an integrated approach. It is a practice that while not typical, is being offered in the United States and globally. This research identifies subjects who were actively engaged in this integrated approach and recorded findings by interviewing each participant. This information is used to examine the implications for long-term treatment outcomes.
