A total of 22 counseling psychologists and counselor trainees with diverse religious/spiritual backgrounds participated into the study. The course included four goals which were to enhance counselor's spiritual self-exploration and self-awareness, to enhance the sensitivity and understanding toward clients' religious and spiritual issues, to increase knowledge on the multi- religions and spirituality in Taiwan, and to enhance the competencies of spiritual assessment and intervention. In order to reach the goals, 10 themes in 30 hours were included into the course.
