Spirituality and Mental Health [PDF ebook] 
Breakthrough

This text explores spirituality and its relationship to mental
health. It emphasizes the need to look inward and listen to the
messages which are channelled through our beings, rather than
dismiss these experiences as some form of ‘disorder’.
Part One considers spirituality as a reflection of the process
of change. A brief overview of the contemporary history of
spiritual inquiry in the field of mental health is provided.
Part Two considers spirituality as a reflection of the process
of meaning making.
Part Three considers spirituality in terms of different forms of
journey, including a consideration of the traditional concept of
pilgrimage. Part Four considers the potential for healing that lies
within even the most terrifying forms of madness. The book then
concludes with a suggestion of the power of ‘waiting’ and the
rewards obtained by the careful, compassionate practice of
life.
