I say that this book gets five stars for two very simple reasons.

1. It's outstanding for academics who are doing research on anything remotely related to psychology of religion. Whether it's learning about how fundamentalist Christians tend to avoid psychotherapy, insights on how to effectively counsel other religions, or research on the effects of religion on subjective well being, it's in this book. It's almost like a meta-analysis of the entire topic.

2. It reads very easily and almost anyone who reads at a college level can understand the research, ideas, and feedback from prominent psychologists.

My only criticism of the book is that it seems to take kind of a "pro-religion" stance, but it still maintains a five star rating because the intro explains why the book does so. However, it cannot be ignored that there is plenty of contemporary research demonstrating that religion is not necessarily always good for the psychological well being of all people! Much of that research was missing from this text.

this book is a good general overview of many different religions in north america, including catholicism, many forms of protestantism (lutheran, methodist, episcopal, latter-day saints, seventh-day adventists, etc.), judaism, islam, buddhism, hinduism and native american religions. it is a collection of chapters written by different authors, many of whom are members in the religion they write about or are experts on the religion. this would be a useful clinical tool for any psychologist.

I had to order this for one of my classes. It was good information to see the differences, but I still would have to counsel people from my view, that Christ in a persons life is the only way to achieve complete healing of mental, emotional and spiritual issues in a person's life.

This was an extremely important reference book when I wrote "Spiritual Health Psychology" (ISBN: 0966841735). The authors present the pros and cons of using spiritual and religious interventions with patients in need. Therapists and religious counselors alike will benefit from reading this pioneering book.

This book's insightful overviews of various religious populations are valuable references. As an Orthodox rabbi and PsyD student, I found Aaron Rabinowitz's chapter, "Psychotherapy with Orthodox Jews" to be a more clear and thorough treatment of the topic than any I have come across.

This is a very thorough and thoughtful book. It is also very accessible and easy to read. I would recommend it.
