"This is an extraordinarily ambitious collection of twenty-four
papers on the challenging subject of the relationship between
religious behavior and mental health. The editor has skillfully
drawn together an international panel of contributors....The book
is admirable in its scope and depth....This is a fascinating and
important book and one which British mental health professionals
would do well to read and debate....This book challenges many
cliches about
religious repression and guilt and I would particularly recommend
it for those working in more multiracial, multifaith, urban
environments."--Heythrop Journal
"A comprehensive book whose plentiful theoretical and research
material deepens the reader's comprehension of those bridges
between religion and various mental health issues."--Pastoral
Psychology
"His careful overview of the subject will benefit newcomers to the
field and provide valuable bibliographical information."--Religious
