Spirit and mind: Mental health at the intersection of religion and psychiatry
In Spirit & Mind, Basu, Littlewood, and Steinforth present twelve chapters that deal with the intersection of psychiatric and religious domains in the global South and North. The chapters were initially presented at the 2012 International Conference on Religion, Healing, and Psychiatry in Münster, Germany. The interdisciplinary team of contributors includes anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, religious studies scholars, psychiatrists, and mental health researchers. This volume brings into focus the ethnographic blurring of the boundaries between the otherwise defined fields of (psychiatric) medicine and religion, which should be of interest to scholars invested in either or both of these fields.
