Spirituality and Mental Health Care

Despite a wealth of evidence demonstrating a strong positive correlation between a person's spirituality and their mental health, there is also evidence which suggests that it is not being taken seriously by those who seek to provide health care. John Swinton presents a model of mental health care that will enable carers to incorporate spirituality effectively into their caring strategies.
Using a critical, evidence-based and interdisciplinary approach to contemporary mental health practice, the author explores the therapeutic significance of spirituality for clients in a number of different contexts with problems such as psychotic disorder, depression, Alzheimer's disease and AIDS, from the perspective of both carers and service-users. The author also provides a critical review of existing literature in this field to assess the place of spirituality in contemporary theory and practice.
This book offers a vital new perspective that will enable care professionals to understand... Spirituality and Mental Health Care
