Sacred Matters: Religion and Spirituality in Families

Sacred Matters: Religion and Spirituality in Families

Sacred Matters explores the multi-disciplinary literature about the role of religion in family life and provides new research and a new theory about the ways in which various aspects of the sacred can be helpful and harmful.

The authors hope that their new conceptual framework will stimulate new research and encourage the creation of new intervention programs designed to help families.

This volume is intended for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners in family studies, human development, marriage and family therapy, the psychology of the family and the psychology of religion, the sociology of the family and the sociology of religion, pastoral counseling, anthropology, and social work.
