| 总结: | The study examines on innovating "spiritually competent" counselors and its issues and

practice and further used for personal spiritual growth. This study is based on a qualitative

counselors should be creative and innovative in handling conflicts between conventional
social values and laws and religious beliefs. The importance of training and curriculum
and a more standardization of the curricular experiences for counseling students are
warranted in preparing them as "spiritually competent" counselors. |
