Excellent- More about Medicine - Religion - Spirituality - Global Perspectives on Traditional, Complementary, and Alternative Healing
The functional differentiation of medicine and religion is the predominant paradigm in modern societies, but contemporary therapeutic practices and concepts are shaped by medical and religious or spiritual elements. This book investigates configurations of the entanglement between medicine, religion, and spirituality in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa, and how political and legal conditions affect these healing systems, relate to religious and scientific discourses, and how therapeutic practitioners position themselves between medicine and religion.

The functional differentiation of medicine and religion has emerged as the prevailing paradigm in modern societies. While contemporary therapeutic practices and concepts within healing systems, such as Transpersonal Psychology, Ayurveda, and Buddhist and Anthroposophic medicine, are influenced by medical and religious or spiritual elements, this book delves into the intricate configurations of the interplay between medicine, religion, and spirituality across Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. It explores the impact of political and legal conditions on these healing systems, their relationship with religious and scientific discourses, and the positioning of therapeutic practitioners within this complex landscape. Furthermore, it examines the appeal of these healing systems to patients and the challenges they face in navigating the boundaries between medicine and religion.
