Naturalistic Assumptions in School Counseling and the Bahá'í Principle of the Unity of Science and Religion

Abstract: The implications of naturalistic assumptions underlying current psychological and educational theories and methods related to the inclusion of religion and spirituality in comprehensive school counseling programs are examined and an argument is made for increased study of a holistic worldview that applies the scientific method to religious and spiritual phenomena using theistic assumptions that build on religious principles found in the Bahá'í Faith.
