Mental health through a spiritual lens : recognising its role in psychological interventions and in how we make sense of our difficulties

Abstract

This portfolio thesis has three parts. Part one comprises a systematic literature review, wherein the effectiveness of psychological interventions that integrate religion or spirituality are considered. Part two is an empirical research paper, wherein the role of spirituality is explored when individuals are making sense of hearing voices. Part three collates the appendices, containing supporting documentation and information for the systematic literature review and empirical research paper, as well as epistemological and reflective statements
