"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."

Reviews for Spirituality and Mental Health: Breakthrough

?Vila and Morris have created a highly readable and very timely compilation of some of the most important writings on capital punishment in the last 400 years. The debate will continue, and any criminal justice professional tasked with enforcing the laws of this country would be well-served to add this anthology to his or her professional library. Its insights and arguments are invaluable no matter which side one takes in the capital punishment debate.?-Corrections Today
