The Holistic Self-Assessment is an effort to help individuals identify and overcome their inconsistencies and live up to their highest potential. The short book is part self-help, part workbook, and all self-empowerment. By first examining your view of yourself you begin to understand the impact of self-identity. Next, the assessment invites you to look at your personal principles, goals, and habits, to see which actions are not aligned with your highest vision. By answering different questions at the end of each chapter and participating in simple exercises, the reader will have an opportunity to reflect. The goal is to encourage each individual to take responsibility for their own physical, mental, and spiritual development. By doing so we encourage and empower others to do the same, thereby creating a ripple across our world.

Contemporary research supports the importance of spirituality for mental health. Counselors, social workers, psychologists and other therapists wonder how to include spirituality in treatment. Mental health training and current treatment models do not equip clinicians to adequately address the topic of spirituality. The Integrated Self presents a model for identifying and assessing spirituality within the client’s own life and experience. By operationally defining spirituality as a dimension of the client’s experience, The Integrated Self explores the role of culture, values, beliefs, and lifestyle for understanding the spiritual dimension of the person. Using case studies, clinicians learn how to implement the model of the integrated self within their existing theoretical orientation. The Integrated Self also includes discussions on the approaches for spiritual assessment and ethical issues related incorporating spirituality in mental health treatment. While other books focus on religious beliefs, spiritual practices, or formulations of a general kind of spirituality, The Integrated Self provides a model for a holistic approach that can be adapted in both mental health and health care settings.
