Spirituality and Psychiatry: A Biblical Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781953839374)

In 2009, the Royal College of Psychiatrists London UK, published an inflammatory book titled "Spirituality and Psychiatry. The book is edited by 3 giants in the field of Psychiatry: Chris Cook, Andrew Powell and Andrew Sims. Each of the editors has served as a Chair of the Spirituality and Psychiatry Special Interest Group of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. It is striking to me to discover that in every time they mention Christian faith, they are far from biblical truth of the Scripture. Not only that but also each chapter of the book is ended with tens of references, none of these includes the Bible.

This book is an invaluable resource for those Christians who are involved in mental illness as it covers most areas of psychiatry to include: psychosis, depression, suicide, substance misuse and more in a biblical perspective with extensive biblical references.
