Please discuss, in words, some of the benefits of the psychology of religion measures in clinical work. For example, how might the AGI help you to conceptualize a Christian client in therapy? How might this understanding of his or her attachment style with God deepen your clinical work? How might improving a client’s ability to use positive religious coping lead to the amelioration of psychiatric symptoms? Are there also ways in which religion can be used for coping in unhelpful ways? How do you suggest religious coping should be used appropriately?
