{"product_id":"9780195361490","title":"Religion and Mental Health","description":"This is an interdisciplinary collection of previously unpublished papers on the controversial relationship between religious behavior and mental health. Schumaker has assembled a distinguished international roster of contributors--sociologists and anthropologists as well as psychiatrists and psychologists of religion--representing a wide range of opinions concerning the mental health implications of religious belief and practice. Taken together, the papers provide a comprehensive overview of theory and research in the field. Included are papers on the interaction of religion and self-esteem, life meaning and well-being, sexual and marital adjustment, anxiety, depression, suicide, psychoticism, rationality, self-actualization, and various patterns of anti-social behavior. Religion is also dealt with in relation to mental health of women, the elderly, and children. Contributions dealing with mental health in non-Western religious groups add an important cross-cultural dimension to the volume.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079483867376,"sku":"9780195361490","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195361490_p0.jpg?v=1763664555","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195361490","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
