Counseling and Values

Counseling and Values is the official journal of the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC), formerly the Association for Religious and Values Issues in Counseling (ARVIC), a division of the American Counseling Association.

• Issues and Insights – Manuscripts that offer fresh information on philosophical, theoretical, and practical applications of ethical, religious, or spiritual issues in counseling.
• Techniques for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Counseling (TSERC) – Manuscripts that focus on practical issues related to (a) the development or adaptation of existing techniques for working with spiritual, ethical, and/or religious values in counseling and/or (b) experience related to the effectiveness of techniques in work with clients and client systems.
