Prof Alexander Moreira-Almeida – Spirituality and Mental Health Across Cultures

How can we integrate spirituality into clinical practice in an ethical and evidence-based approach?

In this webinar, the editor of the book Spirituality and Mental Health Across Cultures (OUP, 2021) will present and discuss the clinical application of this work written by 38 experts in the fields of spirituality and mental health from 11 countries.

Spirituality and Mental Health Across Cultures explores the implications of religion and spirituality (R/S) for mental health. It provides readers with a succinct and trustworthy review of the latest research, and how this can be applied to clinical care. The first section covers the principles and fundamental questions that relate science, history, philosophy, neuroscience, religion, and spirituality with mental health. The second section discusses the main beliefs and practices related to world religions and their implications for mental health. The third reviews the impact of R/S on specific clinical situations and offers practical guidance on how to handle these appropriately, such as practical suggestions for assessing and integrating R/S in personal history anamnesis or psychotherapy.
