The Handbook of Religion and Health has become the seminal research
text on religion, spirituality, and health, outlining a rational
argument for the connection between religion and health. The Second
Edition completely revises and updates the first edition. Its
authors are physicians: a psychiatrist and geriatrician, a primary
care physician, and a professor of nursing and specialist in mental
health nursing. The Second Edition surveys the historical
connections between religion and health and grapples with the
distinction between the terms ''religion'' and ''spirituality'' in
research and clinical practice. It reviews research on religion and
mental health, as well as extensive research literature on the
mind-body relationship, and develops a model to explain how
religious involvement may impact physical health through the
mind-body mechanisms. It also explores the direct relationships
between religion and physical health, covering such topics as
immune and endocrine function, heart disease, hypertension and
stroke, neurological disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases;
and examines the consequences of illness including chronic pain,
disability, and quality of life. Finally, the Handbook reviews
research methods and addresses applications to clinical practice.
Theological perspectives are interwoven throughout the chapters.
The Handbook is the most insightful and authoritative resource
available to anyone who wants to understand the relationship
between religion and health. Features Provides up-to-date, detailed
background on religion and health care Gives guidance on conducting
research on religion and health Includes an appendix that provides
the latest and best published research
