Psychology Of Religion: Autobiographical Accounts (Path In Psychology)

In the past four decades or so, the so-called psychology of religion ?after having been deemed extinct, impossible or unlikely ?has risen to prominence again: the number of publications is rapidly growing, an impressive secondary literature (handbooks, introductions, etc.) is available already, infrastructure has been developed (a number of new journals devoted to the subject have been founded, organizations have been established, increasingly funding is going to the area), attracting many new researchers. Organizations like the American Psychological Association are now publishing in the field of psychology of religion (and its Div. 36 [?sych of rel? with almost 3,000 members is already midsized among the APA-divisions). This book documents this re-emergence and development.
