This volume focuses on the role that religion and spirituality can
play in recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and
other forms of trauma, including moral injury. Religious texts,
from the Bible to Buddhist scriptures, have always contained
passages that focus on helping those who have experienced the
trauma of war. Many religions have developed psychological, social,
behavioral, and spiritual ways of coping and healing that can work
in tandem with clinical treatments today in assisting recovery from
PTSD and moral injury. In this book the authors review and discuss
systematic research into how religion helps people cope with severe
trauma, including trauma caused by natural disasters, intentional
interpersonal violence, or combat experiences during war. They
delve into the impact that spirituality has in both the development
of and recovery from PTSD. Beyond reviewing research, they also use
case vignettes throughout to illustrate the very human story of
recovery from PTSD, and how religious or spiritual beliefs can both
help or hinder depending on circumstance. A vital work for any
mental health or religious professionals who seek to help people
dealing with severe trauma and loss.
