Description: James L. Griffith - Recipient of the 2011 Creative Scholarship Award from the Society for the Study of Psychiatry and Culture for Religion that Heals, Religion that Harms! From James L. Griffith, well known for his work on harnessing the healing potential of religion and spirituality, this book helps clinicians to intervene effectively in situations where religion is causing harm. Vivid examples illustrate how religious beliefs and practices may propel suicide, violence, self-neglect, or undue suffering in the face of medical or emotional challenges. Griffith also unravels the links between psychiatric illness and distorted religious experience. He demonstrates empathic, respectful ways to interview patients who disdain contact with mental health professionals, yet whose religious lives put themselves or others at risk. The book incorporates cutting-edge research on the psychology of religion and social neuroscience. James L. Griffith is the recipient of the 2011 Creative Scholarship Award from the Society for the Study of Psychiatry and Culture for Religion that Heals, Religion that Harms. The award is given every year to an individual who has made a recent, significant, and creative contribution to the field of cultural psychiatry.
