In examining the question of religion's impact on health, Is Religion Good for Your Health? examines the opinions and clinical experiences of health professionals, patient reports of those faced with painful and often life-threatening illnesses, and the findings of research that has objectively examined the relationships between religion and mental health and religion and physical health. You'll learn to distinguish between neurotic or pathological uses of religion and healthier forms of religious belief and practice; why religion might affect health; and psychological, social, and physiological pathways by which these effects may be conveyed. Finally, physicians, counselors, clergy, medical researchers, and laypersons learn the implications of this research for them.
