The past century has seen the relationship between psychology and religion progress from wary antagonists to strange bedfellows to complementary worldviews. Psychology, Religion, and Spirituality is designed as a text that reflects this history while illuminating the robust dialogue that continues to accompanyit. The elegant, accessible coverage ranges from early psychological critiques of religion and responses from major religious thinkers to positivist and constructivist philosophies; from Jung’s archetypes to neurobiological research into the religious brain; from scientific constructs of prayer, meditation, and mindfulness to collaborative interventions for mental health. Authored specifically for use as a standalone text May also be used in conjunction with a set of primary source readings Superior to other works on the psychology of religion in that it combines both theoretical work and empirical research (where as other focus on one and neglect the other) Provides a practical application of concepts and research findings INDICE: I.
