The Psychology of Religion and Coping : Theory, Research, Practice Paperback / softback
by Kenneth I. Pargament
Paperback / softback
Description
When faced with a crisis, why do some people turn to religion to help them cope, while others turn away?
Is religious belief merely a defense or a form of denial?
Is spirituality a help or a hindrance in times of stress?
Building a much-needed bridge between two different worlds of thought and practice--religion and psychology--this volume sensitively interweaves theory with first-hand accounts, clinical insight, and scientific research.
The book underscores the need for greater sensitivity to religion and spirituality in the context of helping relationships, and suggests a range of ways that faith might be used more fully to help people in crisis.
