Psychosis and Spirituality: Exploring the New Frontier

Spirituality and psychosis both inhabit the region where ordinary reason ceases to function and barrier break down. The connection between them is evident — what is remarkable is how conventional thinking obscures the connection. This book challenges conventional understandings with a radical new perspective.The interface between psychosis and spirituality is explored, drawing on key research and latest developments from a wide spread of disciplines. Schizotypy, the neuropsychological perspective, the mystical side of psychosis, CBT for psychosis and religious delusions, are just five of the topics covered in this important book.This new perspective will be important for those professionally interested in both psychosis and spirituality, including therapists and priests, people seeking a well grounded framework for their own direct experience in this area and everyone interested in the latest thinking and research on this topic.
