Scientists and clinicians will find in this book contributions from
theology, philosophy and pastoral practice that will give them new
insights into the importance of spirituality in mental healthcare.
Theological and inter-disciplinary perspectives offered here help
all of us to see things differently. This book is commended to all
mental health professionals, chaplains and pastoral carers, and
academics wanting a broader perspective on spirituality and mental
health. -- Harold Koenig
Spirituality, Theology and Mental health will be essential reading
for clergy, health professionals and academics from different
disciplines who are learning, talking and working together in the
hope of better addressing the place of spirituality in mental
health care. It iss a fascinating book that's integrative of
spiritual and theological perspectives with clinical and pastoral
care, importantly introducing theology into a debate that has
largely ignored a contribution from this discipline. Many of the
writers explore the boundaries that sometimes separate different
domains of expertise and differing values and assumptions in
diverse settings. -- Sheila Hollins
