'This book can be recommended to all those wishing to learn more about religion and its relationship to psychiatric practice.' - The British Medical Journal
Psychiatry and Religion brings together fifteen senior mental health practitioners and pastoral workers to explore what their different philosophies have to offer to the individuals in their care. The book attempts to narrow the gulf between spiritual and psychological welfare and promote greater understanding of the relationship between the two.
A variety of denominational perspectives are covered including Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Islam, as well as newer religions. The book examines the positive and negative effects that strict moral codes and religious rituals can produce and shows how awareness of these effects is crucial to treatment of the patient.
