Treating Spiritual Disorders: Promoting Spiritual Recovery - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Impressive in its originality, depth and intellectual rigor. That what psychiatrist Daniel Mandelbaum, M.D. says about this monumental work by Gregory Sims, Ph.D. In its own unique way, Treating Spiritual Disorders anticipates a time in the not-so-distant future when a person in need will not only be referred to medical and psychological practices, but to spiritual practices -- all given the same respect and all understood to have full acceptance in both the professional and lay communities. The book acknowledges the deep impact of spiritual illnesses in the overall health of individuals and the need that exists for traditional healthcare practitioners to become more attuned to this fact. Not a new theory, as the author points out, the concepts in this book have been under consideration and argued about for thousands of years. The author asks the question: what do we do when our bodies are depleted and ravaged, not only physically, but spiritually? Through the use of actual case studies, the author provides real-life examples to support his premise. With an abiding respect for traditional medical andPsychological methodologies (including pharmacological approaches), the book also provides extensive alternative methods (such as meditation). This is a perfect read for people looking for answers to chronic pain management, depression, and any physical condition that has been undiagnosed, and/or holding an interest in alternative approaches to traditional medical and psychological treatment.
