Spiritual Care in Psychological Suffering: How a Research
Collaboration Informs Integrative Practice highlights spiritually
integrative research and demonstrates the evolution of a national
partnership of psychologists and chaplains collaborating for
optimal results. Interdisciplinary teams are the gold standard in
spiritual care provision, and this book orients the purpose and
promise of such collaboration for research and practice. Recent
work in the psychology of religion and spirituality has emphasized
the importance of relational spirituality, distinctions between
harmful and helpful effects of religion and spirituality on mental
health, and the relevance of spiritual struggles for psychological
well-being; however, these dimensions have not been examined in the
context of a collaborative and culturally diverse partnership, nor
have they been comprehensively examined in psychologically
distressed populations. This volume seeks to make an important
contribution to the psychology of religion by providing an in-depth
look at translating integrative research into integrative practice
in a population that has experienced significant psychological
suffering. It is hoped that insights from this volume will
contribute the following: foster more rewarding chaplain-researcher
partnerships; offer a deeper understanding of the intersections
among spiritual experience, virtues, and psychological distress;
and demonstrate approaches for inquiring about individuals'
spiritual lives in the midst of psychological suffering.
