Discover Research as a Sacred Journey
In counseling and psychology programs, students and educators alike often approach research with feelings of apprehension. Educators and researchers Kristen Kansiewicz and Paul Loosemore offer a different perspective. In Engaging in Counseling Research with Curiosity and Wisdom, they reveal how research is not only an essential element of mental health work but a unique invitation to curiosity, wisdom, and personal growth.
Kansiewicz and Loosemore provide an integrative connection between Christian faith and the process of research. They unpack such topics as:
how to engage one’s whole self as a researcher
different perspectives on knowledge and truth
the importance of diversity in research
applying research insights to the clinical setting
Designed to accompany and enhance the primary curriculum in a research course, Engaging in Counseling Research with Curiosity and Wisdom offers:
a Christian formation perspective of the research process
how to look at Scripture through a research lens and research through a biblical lens
discussion questions and classroom learning activities
inspirational ideas for teaching research courses
compliance with CACREP standards
God created us to be explorers, filled with awe as we uncover truths all around.

Whether you are an educator, student, or professional in psychology, counseling, social work, or a similar profession, this resource empowers you to engage with research in a meaningful and faithful way.
