Sommario/riassunto

Compiled from papers delivered at the third annual Kent State University Symposium on Democracy held in spring 2002, Democracy and Religion: Free Exercise and Diverse Visions explores the interrelations of politics and religion. The work is divided into four main sections: the constitutional debate regarding the establishment and free exercise of religion clause, the themes of violence and nonviolence as they relate to religion, the free exercise of religion and the rise of fundamentalism, and the challenges to the free exercise of diverse religious practices in a democratic society. Each of the main categories is subsequently broken down and examined in-depth by an expert in the field. Discussions include an explanation of the complexities of religion and state in the United States, encompassing separation, integration, and accommodation, as well as past and present religious literacy and civil liberties, and an examination of violence and nonviolence, extremism and moderation, in Islam. This compilation of essays will fascinate those with an interest in the complex relationship between religion and politics.

Sommario/riassunto

The purpose of this book is to help health professionals learn how to enhance resilience in patients with serious health problems such as somatizing disorders and specific physical diseases who are usually resistant to psychosocial approach. Furthermore, this book will be able to help the general public learn how to enhance resilience and promote health in difficult situations. ‘Resilience-enhancing approach’ (REA)



refers to a variety of therapeutic modalities enhancing resilience, that is, biopsychosociospiritual approach. It includes biological therapy (psychopharmacotherapy), stress management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and spiritual approach. Therefore, therapists should have knowledge about resilience and spirituality as well as these therapeutic modalities. A variety of clinical cases are illustrated, helping therapists understand how to enhance resilience in patients with somatizing disorders and specific physical diseases. Therefore, the REA can be not only a therapeutic but also a preventive intervention.
