The Psychology of Religion and
Coping: Theory, Research, Practice
by Kenneth I. Pargament
Extremely Important Research!
When faced with a crisis, why do some people turn to religion to help them
cope, while others turn away? Is religious belief merely a defense or a form
of denial? Is spirituality a help or a hindrance in times of stress? Building a
much-needed bridge between two different worlds of thought and
practice--religion and psychology-- this volume sensitively interweaves
theory with first-hand accounts, clinical insight, and scientific research.
The book underscores the need for greater sensitivity to religion and
spirituality in the context of helping relationships, and suggests a range of
ways that faith might be used more fully to help people in crisis.
Personal Review: The Psychology of Religion and Coping:
Theory, Research, Practice by Kenneth I. Pargament

This was a key reference book when I wrote "Spiritual Health Psychology"
(ISBN: 0966841735). Dr. Pargament has helped to establish the scientific
link between the endorsement of religious beliefs and behaviors and a
healthier lifestyle. Must reading for any therapist and/or scientist who
wants to fully understand the link between religion and health.
