This book aims to help readers appreciate the many-faceted
relationship between Christianity, one of the world's major faith
traditions, and the practice of psychiatry. Chapter authors in this
book first consider challenges posed by historical antagonisms,
church-based mental health stigma, and controversy over phenomena
such as hearing voices. Next, others explore both how Christians
often experience conditions such as mood and psychotic disorders,
disorders in children and adolescents, moral injury and PTSD, and
ways that their faith can serve as a resource in their healing.
Twelve Step spirituality, originally informed by Christianity, is
the subject of a chapter, as are issues raised for Christians by
disability, death and dying. A set of chapters then focuses on the
state of integration of Christian beliefs and practices into
psychotherapy, treatment delivery, educational programming,
clergy/clinician collaboration, and treatment by a non-Christian
psychiatrist. Finally, there are chapters by a mental health
professional who has been a patient, a Jewish psychiatrist, a
Muslim psychiatrist knowledgeable about Christianity and psychiatry
in the Muslim majority world, and a Christian psychiatrist. These
chapters provide context, diversity and personal perspectives.
Christianity and Psychiatry is a valuable resource for mental
health professionals seeking to understand and address the
particular challenges that arise when caring for Christian
patients.
