This book provides an alternative, complementary approach to the
existing conventional approaches to religious and spiritually
oriented coping. By focusing on the role of culture, the authors
take into account the methods employed by a vast number of people
who do not directly identify themselves as religious. The empirical
data used in this book derive from studies conducted in several
countries; Sweden, China, South Korea, Turkey and Malaysia, across
which religion plays a different role in the social and cultural
life of individuals. This approach and these empirical data are
unique and allow comparisons to be made between different cultural
settings. By introducing the concept of meaning-making coping, the
authors explore the influence of culture on choice of coping
methods, be they purely religious, spiritual or existential. The
term "existential meaning-making coping" is used to describe coping
methods that are related to existential questions; these methods
include religious, spiritual and existential coping methods.
Meaning-making Methods for Coping with Serious Illness contributes
to new approaches and theoretical models of coping. As such it is
an invaluable resource for health care, medical, public health and
sociology students and researchers. It will also be of interest to
educators and policy-makers working in the area of health.

The author examines from different perspectives (theological and
philosophical as well as socio-political and historical) the
significance of the concept of the individual in the ways of
thinking of Iranians. This book establishes that the mystical
dimension of Islamic thought, the divine nature of Islamic law and,
the mode of relationship between ruler and the ruled, in
combination, counteracted growth of concern for the individual self
in Iranian thought.
