Beskrivning

Spiritual Care in Psychological Suffering: How a Research Collaboration Informs Integrative Practice highlights spiritually integrative research and demonstrates the evolution of a national partnership of psychologists and chaplains collaborating for optimal results. Interdisciplinary teams are the gold standard in spiritual care provision, and this book orients the purpose and promise of such collaboration for research and practice. Recent work in the psychology of religion and spirituality has emphasized the importance of relational spirituality, distinctions between harmful and helpful effects of religion and spirituality on mental health, and the relevance of spiritual struggles for psychological well-being; however, these dimensions have not been examined in the context of a collaborative and culturally diverse partnership, nor have they been comprehensively examined in psychologically distressed populations. This volume seeks to make an important contribution to the psychology of religion by providing an in-depth look at translating integrative research into integrative practice in a population that has experienced significant psychological suffering. It is hoped that insights from this volume will contribute the following: foster more rewarding chaplain-researcher partnerships; offer a deeper understanding of the intersections among spiritual experience, virtues, and psychological distress; and demonstrate approaches for inquiring about individuals’ spiritual lives in the midst of psychological suffering.

Recensioner i media

Spiritual Care in Psychological Suffering: How a Research Collaboration Informs Integrative Practice not only talks about transcending disciplinary boundaries but actually does it! Well-grounded in their own scientific research as well as the literature more broadly, this team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and chaplains has been working together now for almost a decade to help people in psychiatric crisis. What you will read herein is both a model for successful collaboration as well as a treasure trove of integrative research with real clinical outcomes resulting from such collaboration. An outstanding example of just what can be done when we extend our disciplinary reach. Well-worth the read.
