Product Description
Product Description
Spirituality is a crucial but sometimes overlooked aspect of mental well-being and psychiatric care. This book explores the nature of spirituality, its relationship to religion, and the reasons for its importance in clinical practice. In this comprehensive and evidence-based text, the authors discuss the prevention and management of illness, as well as the maintenance of recovery. Different chapters focus on the key sub-specialties of psychiatry, such as psychotherapy, child and adolescent, learning disability and substance misuse. It contains references to up to date research and provides a comprehensive review of the relevant academic literature. The contributors include psychiatrists renowned in their field, plus a trainee psychiatrist,and several mental healthcare chaplains. The book will be of wide interest to psychiatrists, psychiatry trainees and all mental health professionals.

As an undergraduate theology student, I found this book incredibly helpful. In the product description it states that "Spirituality is a crucial but sometimes overlooked aspect of mental well-being and psychiatric care" and I would argue vice-versa, that also psychiatric care is often a crucial but sometimes overlooked aspect of spiritual and pastoral care. Several of my essays so far have probed into issues concerning ethics, pastoral care, and appropriate pastoral practice; and this book has helped me root my arguments not only in the spiritual but also psychiatric concern. I am increasingly considering spirituality as being inseperable from psychiatry... after all, the root meaning for the term 'psychology' is the 'study of the soul'.
I strongly recommend this book to both mental-health professionals/students, as well as those who work with people from explicitly faith orientated view points... it can truly help undergird a range of understandings of the many individual versions of the 'self' that we encounter on a daily basis. My only complaint? Well, that would be that I wished it was longer because I enjoy referring to it so much!
A five star book - a strongly recommended purchase!
