Title: Spirituality and the Healthy Mind
Description: "Can the spiritual and the professional, two perspectives that seem different, be reconciled? This book is designed to provide an answer to that question. It draws on recent findings in psychology, neuroscience, and innovative therapies to understand how people express their spiritual needs. It then shows how the mentally ill, substance abusers, and people troubled by a sense that something is missing in their lives can be helped by developing a sense of personal meaning, while still benefiting from contemporary therapy and medications. Finally, it examines shortcomings in both the biomedical and spiritually-oriented approaches."--Jacket.
