This book presents a comprehensive treatment of religion as a variable in mental health and psychological treatment. A collection of essays from the foremost authorities in the field, it examines the ways in which religion may be addressed in clinical practice and offers a thorough appreciation of the history of the antagonism and overlap between the two perspectives and of the psychological theory and empirical research that has been engendered from Freud to the present.
Book Review
Twenty-one fine essays on religion and the clinical practice of psychology, written by well known therapists and theorists united by a liberal perspective on religion and an interest in the role played by religion in mental health. . . The essays challenge conventional stereotypes suggesting that psychologists are uniquely hostile to religion. Contributors show that contemporary psychologists actually view religion, or spirituality, as valuable. The book will be most useful to clinicians, but scholars of religion will also be impressed by its scope and by the rapprochement it documents. It illustrates a new paradigm in which secular psychology and liberal religion, especially noninstitutional forms, no longer compete for the human soul.
