Contemporary therapeutic practices and concepts in healing systems, such as Transpersonal Psychology, Ayurveda, as well as Buddhist and Anthroposophic medicine, however, are shaped by medical as well as religious or spiritual elements. This book investigates configurations of the entanglement between medicine, religion, and spirituality in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. How do political and legal conditions affect these healing systems? How do they relate to religious and scientific discourses? How do therapeutic practitioners position themselves between medicine and religion, and what is their appeal for patients?ReligionswissenschaftMedicineReligious aspectsMental healingMedicineReligious aspects.Mental healing.615.5Lüddeckens Dorothea1966-Schrimpf MonikaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996309226603316Medicine - Religion - Spirituality1928848UNISA
