A serious scholar of psychology and religion should have this book prominently displayed on the bookshelf, particularly those with a clinical bent. In fact, a good clinical psychologist would benefit from this one too, as often patients turn to religion in their attemtpts to cope, yet clinicians receive little to no training on the subject of religion.
Extremely important research!

This was a key reference book when I wrote "Spiritual Health Psychology" (ISBN: 0966841735). Dr. Pargament has helped to establish the scientific link between the endorsement of religious beliefs and behaviors and a healthier lifestyle. Must reading for any therapist and/or scientist who wants to fully understand the link between religion and health.
An excellent integration of religion and psychology

Pargament provides an excellent summary of the clinical, research, and theological lierature on religion as it relates to coping and well-being. he also develops a useful,jargon-free framework for integrating psychology and religion. This book will be of interest to mental health clinicians, researchers in the field, as well as members of the lay public.
