Suicide or Adoration:: A Theology of Mental Health

The area of theology and mental health is one of the under-researched fields within practical theology. Despite the fact that mental health problems are prevalent and on the rise, there remains relatively little theological reflection on what this might mean for the theology and practice of religious communities. In this book Emma Pierce brings us a thoughtful and insightful reflection on the nature of mental illness and what it might mean to live in and with such experiences. The book is a complicated, beautiful and often mystical piece of work which seems to locate itself within the contemplative tradition, challenging us to return to mythos and imagination as vital ways of understanding and responding to mental health issues. Love works alongside of medication, to produce the goals of peace, well-being and ultimately being in love with God. The book will challenge you and, if you let it, broaden your horizons in interesting and sometimes difficult ways.
