Books by ResearchersI have added some new content to my EARS wbesite!
Under Spiritual Crisis there are now sections on Books by Experiencers, Books by Therapists, and Books by Researchers. Newly added books include Breaking Open by Jules Evans and Tim Read, and Helping with Spiritual Emergencies by Robert Nelson. I have also updated the Organisations page. It lists organisations who specialise in spiritual crisis and the various types of spiritual emergency. In addition, I have begun to list mental health organisations and to rate them on their inclusion of spirituality on their websites. Finally, I have updated the page about my research into What Helps People Who Experience Spiritual Crisis/Emergency? The first project will be an evaluation of the services provided by the Spritual Crisis Network (SCN).
