Pastoral Psychology is an academic journal that focuses on the intersection of religion, spirituality, and mental health. The content published in this magazine covers how to apply psychological principles and practices to religious and spiritual life, as well as how to understand and address mental health issues in the context of religion and spirituality. It provides a platform for pastors, religious leaders, mental health professionals, and scholars studying religious and spiritual psychology to discuss and share research findings.
Magazine articles typically explore how to integrate religious beliefs and spiritual experiences in clinical practice, and how these elements affect an individual's psychological well-being and treatment process. The magazine encourages interdisciplinary research, including contributions from fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, and theology, to promote a deeper understanding of the role of religion and spirituality in modern society.
