Psychosis and Spirituality: Exploring the New Frontier 1st Edition

3.3 3.3 out of 5 stars 5 ratings

There is a newer edition of this item:

Spirituality and psychosis both inhabit the region where ordinary reason ceases to function and barriers break down. The connection between them is evident - what is remarkable is how conventional thinking obscures the connection. This book challenges conventional understandings with a radical new perspective.

The interface between psychosis and spirituality is explored, drawing on key research and latest developments from a wide spread of disciplines:

Gordon Claridge on schizotypy, Peter Fenwick on the neuropsychological perspective, Neil Douglas Klotz on a new understanding of spirituality, Peter Chadwick on the mystical side of psychosis, David Kingdon on CBT for psychosis and religious delusions, are just five of the 12 distinguished contributors to this book.

This new perspective will be important for those professionally interested in both psychosis and spirituality (therapists, priests, etc.) people seeking a well grounded framework for their own direct expererience in this area and everyone interested in the latest thinking and research on this topic.

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020
One of the best collaborative research efforts I’ve read. Scholastically assists patient, professional and other participants in which all are described in this book with integrating disciplines, religious/spiritual learning and experiences all while breaking down the barriers of merging all of them in the attempts of understanding human beings.
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2023
insyead of writing succinctly and logically the authors seem to be just putting down words as they daydream. no statistical analyses, bery little anecdotes. sentences long and full of words but conveying nothing. Like psychology students free joirnaling loosely about a subject. hallucinations and delusions are hardly talked about. absolutely on no use whatsoevet.
