- W284936305 abstract "The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate reports that approximately 23% of the 68 million Catholics living in the United States have been divorced, with the majority of them pursuing an annulment (i.e., a declaration that there was never a marriage in the first place). Furthermore, the data suggest that about 71% of separated and divorced Catholics sought counseling from secular mental health professionals concerning their marriage, separation, and divorce (Gray, Perl, & Bruce, 2007). This paper will provide therapists with information that helps them meet the basic religious and spiritual related competencies set forth by the 2009 Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling. The following components will be addressed: (a) a basic understanding of the Catholic perspective on marriage and divorce; (b) information about the annulment process; and (c) preliminary suggestions on how counselors can assist Catholics heal and grow through separation.From the Muslim couple signing their Nikah contract, to the Jewish couple under the chuppa, to the Catholic blessing of the newly married couple before the altar - as they have for scores of centuries, men and women present themselves to these religious communities and to all the others to celebrate and witness their joining in marriage. Each of those traditions has an understanding of the meaning of marriage that is transmitted to the couple, both formally and informally. Perhaps nowhere else in our postmodern culture, is there such a public intersection of the individual and a religious institution.As counselors, working with married couples or divorced individuals, it is important to understand that the meaning of marriage and divorce to the client is, to one degree or another, colored by the religious tradition. The data suggest both that counselors often work with clients for whom religious affiliation is salient to their identity (Robinson & Howard-Hamilton, 2000) and that it is likely that counselors are working in cross-cultural transactions. Therefore, the authors suggest that it is a responsibility of the counselor to become familiar with religious beliefs and practices of their clients. To that end, the two-fold purpose of this article is to promote a professional conversation in the literature of the meaning of marriage, divorce and annulment to adherents of various religions and to provide an overview of the role of the counselor in working with Roman Catholic clients who are in the process of the annulment of their marriage.Cultural Competence and ReligionThe national data suggest that religious clients are entering our practice doors on a frequent basis. According to the American Religious Identification Survey (Kosmin, Mayer, & Keysar, 2001) 81% of the United States population identified themselves as religious. Approximately 77% of the United States adult population identified themselves as Christian, 1.3% as Jewish, .5% as Muslim, and .5% as Buddhist. Of the Christian population, 24.5% identified as Catholic, 16.3% as Baptist, 6.8% as Methodist, and 4.6% as Lutheran. Kosmin et al. (2001) found that approximately 50% of Americans belong to a church, synagogue, mosque, temple or other place of worship. However, the meaning any given individual puts on this membership varies greatly from one denomination or faith to another (Duba Onedera & Greenwalt, 2008; Fukuyama, Siahpoush, & Sevig, 2005; Kosmin et al., 2001, p. 11) and within that group from one individual to the next.So what is so relevant about these statistics? First, they provide data suggesting that clients are likely to hold religious beliefs. Further, the data suggest that many clients will ascribe personal and familial meaning and value to various religious activities, practices and doctrine. Are therapists competent to address issues of religious belief? The literature suggests otherwise. According to the literature, many mental health professionals in various fields including counseling, psychology, family, and rehabilitation counseling have limited training in the area of religion (Duba Onedera, 2008). …" @default.
