Description - The Psychology of Religion and Coping by Kenneth I. Pargament
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 of a form of denial? Is spirituality a help or a hindrance in times of stress? Building a bridge between two different worlds of thought and practice - religion and psychology - this volume 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.
