Religion in Illness and Health by Carroll A. Wise

Religion in Illness and Health by Carroll A. Wise with the original dust jacket.

From the dust jacket:

”As chaplain in a mental hospital Dr. Wise has been able to study at first-hand over a period of years the emotional nature of individuals and the close relation between religion and health. He has formulated approach to the problem which is clinically useful for both the physician and clergyman, which is sound scientifically and religiously, and which preserves the clergyman's status as a clergyman.

This book is unlike other books already published in this field because it is not confined to a discussion of pastoral counseling, nor is it an attempt to be a medical book. The author asks for greater cooperation between physicians and clergymen in the interests of the patient, with religion as more of preventive than a curative force.

The book is free from technical phraseology, and should prove invaluable to general practitioners, psychiatrists, clergymen, social workers and religious educators.”
