There is compelling evidence that religious involvement and
spiritual attitudes are beneficial to health. Religious involvement
has been associated with increased lifespan, improved mood,
improved coping with illness, and lower blood pressure and
cholesterol. And yet, there is a "religiosity gap" between patients
and their healthcare providers. Patients often have strong
religious and spiritual attitudes that influence their perspective
on health. Healthcare providers are often ill-equipped to address
these issues. This book seeks to close that gap. Scholarly in
scope, but approachable to all healthcare providers, Dr Doolittle
addresses the salient studies that explore the intersection of
religion and health. He gives guidance about common challenges
faced by healthcare providers: end of life issues, chronic illness,
mental health, mindfulness and religious diversity. He also tackles
controversies with the changing, complex role religion plays in
modern society. Dr Doolittle is an internal medicine-pediatrics
physician on the faculty of Yale Medical School. In addition, he is
an ordained minister with active involvement in the urban church.
