Beschreibung:
'Handbook of Religion and Health' has become the seminal research text on religion, spirituality, and health, outlining a rational argument for the connection between religion and health. For the past two decades, this handbook has been the most cited of all references on religion and health. This third edition covers the best research published through 2021 with an emphasis on prospective studies and randomised controlled trials. This volume examines research on the relationship between religion and health outcomes, surveys the historical connections between religion and health, and discusses the distinction between the terms 'religion' and 'spirituality' in research and clinical practice.
