In fact, he argues, it is not necessary to care effectively for Christians experiencing severe mental illness to grasp the theological dimensions of such experiences. Therapy and pharmacology may be helpful, but on their own they are deeply inadequate. By listening carefully to the lived experiences of people with severe mental health problems, FInding Jesus in the Storm will open up new understandings and perspectives that challenge current assumptions and draws out fresh perspectives for care, healing, recovery and community. It is a book about people instead of symptoms, description instead of diagnosis, and lifegiving hope for everyone in the midst of the storm.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 135mmAuthor: John SwintonGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Society & Culture, Personal Development, MedicineRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
