Highlights
We are aware that the methodology, interpretation and evaluation of research on spirituality and mental health are complex matters which are not without their controversies and difficulties
There are negative as well as positive associations in the research literature charting the relationships between spirituality, religiosity and mental health
For this reason we did not suggest in our article[2] that ‘research unequivocally shows an association between religiosity and well-being’[3] but rather stated that ‘research demonstrates largely positive associations between religiosity and well-being’
Summary
We are aware that the methodology, interpretation and evaluation of research on spirituality and mental health are complex matters which are not without their controversies and difficulties. Alongside healthy forms of spirituality there are pathological forms of spirituality, and harmful forms of religion and religious practice, which are clearly detrimental to mental well-being.[1] Not surprisingly, there are negative as well as positive associations in the research literature charting the relationships between spirituality, religiosity and mental health.
