| 總結: | Professional sensitivity to diversity has been part of psychotherapy guidelines for decades. Religion and spirituality are facets of diversity alongside social, cultural, ethnic or gender diversity, and the demand for diversity-sensitive psychotherapy is growing. Nevertheless, universities hardly include religion and spirituality in clinical psychology programs. This article presents the results of a nationwide survey of Norwegian psychology students, replicating the only study on this topic so far, enabling an examination of progress in this area over the last 15 years. The 17-item survey aimed at exploring the coverage of religion in university training, the students’ attitudes toward including the topic, and their experience of religious sensitivity in teaching. The results reveal a continually low level of coverage that is contrasted by a continually high level of interest among students. While some results indicate a tendency towards more differentiated teaching, others suggest an increase in disrespect towards religious people. |
