Schumaker has assembled a distinguished international roster of contributors--sociologists and anthropologists as well as psychiatrists and psychologists of religion--representing a wide range of opinions concerning the mental health implications of religious belief and practice. Taken together, the papers provide a\n\u003cbr\u003ecomprehensive overview of theory and research in the field. Included are papers on the interaction of religion and self-esteem, life meaning and well-being, sexual and marital adjustment, anxiety,\n\u003cbr\u003edepression, suicide, psychoticism, rationality, self-actualization, and various patterns of anti-social behavior.
