Synopsis

Whether you are a psychologist, psychiatrist, physician, nurse, counselor, therapist, pastor,chaplain, or social worker – or anyone else that aspires to work with the human condition – thenyou need to know the neglected connection between religion, spirituality, and coping. Currentprofessional standards require “best practice” and “evidence-based” interventions while ethicalcodes mandate “cultural competence” and attention to “diversity.” None of these demands forprofessionalism is met when we ignore – whether willingly or otherwise – the coping strategies ofour religious and spiritual clients. This scholarly work addresses these needs with three impressivefeats: First, this book reviews decades of research on religious and spiritual coping. Second, thisbook re-examines religious / spiritual interventions with scientific rigor. And third, this book drawsconclusions and makes concrete recommendations based on these findings. In short, this work isa “must have” for your professional library!
