A person's sense of spirituality informs his or her awareness of
self and of the society around them, and is intrinsic to their
mental well-being. In this balanced and thoughtful book John
Swinton explores the connections between mental health or illness
and spirituality and draws on these to provide practical guidance
for people working in the mental health field. He analyses a range
of models of mental health care provision that will enable carers
to increase their awareness of aspects of spirituality in their
caring strategies. Using a critical evidence-based and
interdisciplinary approach to contemporary mental health practice,
Swinton explores the therapeutic significance of spirituality from
the perspectives of both carers and service-users, looking at
mental health problems such as psychotic disorder and depression,
Alzheimer's disease and bipolar disorder. He also provides a
critical review of existing literature in the field to place
spirituality in contemporary theory and practice.
