"The range is very broad, there is a fair degree of debate within
the volume, and attempting to bring the combatants together in
discussion sections may be valuable in a second edition.
Considering the enormity and controversial nature of the subject,
the editors must be commended on producing this valuable volume."
(Mental health, religion and culture, 1 January 2011)
"All in all: very readable, a large amount of material brought
together in a single volume, a milestone marking the beginning of a
new, less ideological and less conflict-ridden era in the history
of psychiatry and religion." (Dutch Theological Journal, 2010)
"offers an outstanding collection of chapters dealing with mental
health and religion. Its editors, Peter J. Verhagen, Herman M. van
Praag, Juan J. Lopez-Ibor Jr., John L. Cox., and Driss Moussaoui,
have assembled a great variety of chapters dealing with topics that
are of great interest to psychologists studying religion."
