Produktbeschreibung
The chapters in this book are based on papers that were presented at the international conference Psychological Aspects of Biblical Concepts and Persons, 4-6 March 2002 in Amsterdam. The conference was organized by the Dutch Foundation for Psychiatry and Re- gion (in Dutch: Stichting Psychiatrie en Religie) a small, but active and lively organization, which organizes conferences and post-graduate education for mental health professionals and which offers a platform for interdisciplinary research and discussion in the field of mental health and religion. The organizers of the conference - Gerrit Glas, Herman M. van Praag, and Peter J. Verhagen - are m- bers of the board of the Foundation. All three are psychiatrists; two of them are also professionally occupied in another discipline: theology (Verhagen) and philosophy (Glas). The primary aim of the conference was to create a space for scientific dialogue between two disciplines with a troubled and complex relationship: psychiatry and theology. The exchange of opinions and viewpoints between specifically these two fields has dried up in the course of the past century and has virtually been absent from around 1960 till at least the early nineties of the previous century. I need to clarify that we were quite specific in isolating theology and psychiatry; instead of focusing on theology and psychology, or biblical studies and psychology, or theology and psychoanalysis. Psychology and psychoanalysis do not seem to have lost all contact with theology, at least not to such an extent as have psychiatry and theology.
Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"For those who attempt to integrate spirituality, religion, and religious thought into psychological, particularly psychotherapeutic, models, this multiedited book will be intriguing. ... The book on the whole is thought provoking and brings a somewhat different focus to the field of religion and psychology than is usually found. ... The serious scholar of psychology and religion may well wish to add it to his or her collection. Courses in theological seminaries, schools of religion, and programs of psychology would benefit ... ." (Richard H. Cox, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 53 (6), 2008)

"The chapters in this book are based on papers presented in 2002 at an international conference, Psychological Aspects of Biblical Concepts and Persons, in Amsterdam. ... attempts to address the overwhelming 'numinous' experience of man's encounter with the divine, whether in the Bible or in pathological hallucination. ... the book is aimed at clinicians, scholars and students of human behavior, the editors also hope to interest pastors and theologians." (Brian R. Skea, Journal of Religion and Health, Vol. 47, 2008)
