Abstract:

This thesis comprises: an introduction, a client study, a critical literature review and a research study. The introduction provides an overview of each component of the thesis as well as highlighting the recurrent theme of religion and spirituality. The client study exemplifies the development of the therapeutic relationship and, in doing so, the significance of religion and spirituality. Within the context of prison, and with a history of abandonment and depression, the value of an Alpha course and a relationship with God are explored. In addition, the practitioner attempted to incorporate t

Objective: To examine the discourses used by trainee and qualified clinical psychologists from the South West of England to manage discussions of spirituality and religion as they relate to clinical practice. Methods: Four focus groups were carried out with a total of 25 qualified and trainee clinical psychologists. Transcripts were analysed using discourse analysis. Results: Three key discourses were identified, giving insight into how cohorts of qualified and trainee clinical psychologists manage discussions of these difficult topics.

Abstract:

<p> Substance use and abuse are detriments to both the individual and society as a whole. Religiosity and spirituality are complex, multi-layered concepts that are important to explore as protective factors against substance use and important factors that curtail individuals from drug use, motivating them to enter into substance abuse treatment. The data on religious/spiritual attitudes and preferences and on the use of different classes of substances were collected from a national sample.

Abstract:

<p> Research investigating the impact of religion and religiosity on aggression and prosocial behavior is mixed.

Results indicated that more punitive perceptions of God were correlated with lower levels of aggression. Furthermore, there was a marginal interacti

Abstract:

Religion and spirituality are vital aspects of many people’s lives both in the United States and across the globe. Although many constructs and measures exist to describe and assess the experience of pursuing the sacred, the complexity of religious and spiritual experience leads to mixed results in relation to well-being and psychopathological traits. However, in broad terms, the relationship appears positive. Over the past 30 years the need for more refined and useful approaches to the study of religious and spiritual behavior has been repeatedly acknowledged. Although authors wisely caution

The one-eyed Cyclops, the Eye of Horus, the figure of the many-eyed Argus, and the third eye of the Buddha are examples that elucidate the range of eye types addressed.

Abstract:

The relationship between the fields of psychology and spirituality can best be described as contentious. A historical separation between these areas, which can be traced back to the thinking of Freud and Charcot has resulted in a lack of research concerning the relevance of spirituality within a mental healthcare framework and moreover has led to the exclusion of this practice as a component in many psychological training programmes. Recent research, however, illustrates a shift towards a greater acknowledgment of the role of spirituality in therapeutic contexts, both in the South African cont

Abstract:

Suicide is a national public health concern, and college students may be at increased risk. Symptoms of psychopathology (i.e., stress, anxiety, and depression) may contribute to risk, whereas religiosity (i.e., religious attendance, surrendering to God, and feeling forgiven by God) may reduce risk. Students from a rural southeastern university (N=249) completed self-report measures. Serial mediation analyses indicate that attendance and surrender to God are inversely- predictive of suicide risk, both directly and through the indirect pathways of feeling forgiven by God (1st order mediator) and
