Description of
Spirituality and Mental Health: A Handbook for Service Users, Carers and Staff Wishin to Bring a Spiritual Dimension to Mental Health Services
1908066008 pdf Spirituality and Mental Health is a handbook for practitioners, carers and service users wishing to bring a spiritual dimension to mental health services, and reflects the increasing importance of spirituality in health and social care more broadly. The book contains 23 chapters on aspects of spirituality and mental health including professional attitudes, ethnicity and spirituality, psychological approaches to spirituality, dementia and spirituality, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in mental health care practitioners. The authors are experts in their fields, and together they promote an understanding of people's belief systems rather than a mechanistic approach to mental health services.
