Eastern Religions, Spirituality, and Psychiatry An Expansive Perspective on Mental Health and Illness

“A 4th volume on religions, mental health, and related ontological fields is published in 5 years by a distinguished editorial group, speaks not only of the tenacious commitment of these scholars but also about the inexhaustible nature of the topics and their pervasive fostering of reflections and challenges. … this new publication adds descriptions and discussions on Eastern religions, effectively expanding their perspectives toward new fields of knowledge.” (Renato D. Alarcón, Psychiatric Times, psychiatrictimes.com, January 16, 2025)
