Love, Spirit, and Mental Health

Have you ever wondered about the relationship between love, spirituality, and mental health? The author is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Christian background and over thirty years of practice and experience with A Course In Miracles, which came from Jesus. Early in his career, he observed that religious clients improved more rapidly when they turned to God for help with love and forgiveness. In his own life, he found the lessons in the Course to be more healing than psychotherapy. So he looked for ethical ways to bring spiritual principles and processes that promote love and forgiveness into psychotherapy. Love, Spirit, and Mental Health examines love, family relationships, and mental health from four perspectives: (1) recent scientific findings, (2) relevant theories, (3) the author’s observations and experience, and (4) related principles from the Course. Specific topics include: (1) the relationship between religion, spirituality, and mental health, (2) keys to healthier relationships, (3) the meaning of and approaches to forgiveness, (4) healthier ways to guide and raise your children, (5) causes of and treatments for depression, and (6) a more integrated approach to psychotherapy.
