Call for Monographs: Connecting Soul, Spirit, Mind, and Body

Call for Monographs

Connecting Soul, Spirit, Mind, and Body:

A Collection of Spiritual and Religious Practices in Counseling

A few years ago, a call was sent out for monographs for a tentative book. At the request of the members of ASERVIC, we are excited to resume this project. Submitted monographs will be peer-reviewed for an on-line article submission.  We will continue the guidelines set forth for the current collection but expand to include monographs on world religions and practices:

 Those who submitted monographs previously will be contacted to determine interest in continuing with this project. There is no need to re-submit as all monographs have been located.
