- 소개/요약This comprehensive handbook is widely regarded as the definitive reference for clinicians, researchers, and students. Leading scholars examine the psychological processes underlying spirituality, religious behavior, and religious experience, synthesizing what is known and identifying important directions for future research. Reflecting significant theoretical and empirical developments that have occurred in recent years, the second edition features numerous new or extensively revised chapters. New topics include cross-cultural issues, spiritual goals, emotional values, and mindfulness. Beginning with a chapter that elaborates five unifying themes for the volume, Part I reviews the foundations of the field and describes cutting-edge research methods. Part II looks at religious and spiritual development across the lifespan, with chapters on childhood, adolescence and adulthood, and old age. State-of-the-science findings from multiple psychological subdisciplines are the focus of Part III, which addresses the neural and cognitive bases of religion and examines connections to emotion, personality, culture, and social behavior. Featuring a key chapter on religion as a meaning system, Part IV explores religious practices and rituals, conversion experiences, and spiritual struggles, as well as fundamentalism, forgiveness, values, and morality. Part V rounds out the volume by probing implications for individual and collective well-being. Chapters explore the interface of religion with health, coping, psychotherapy, workplace functioning, and terrorism. An integrative conclusion by the editors helps to knit the Handbook into a cohesive whole. Demonstrating the vitality and interdisciplinary relevance of contemporary scientific work on religion, this book will be read with great interest by social and clinical psychologists, pastoral counselors, and students and researchers in these fields, as well as faculty and students in religious studies.
