Abstract
Evangelical Christians constitute one-quarter of the U.S. population and can present challenges to mental health treatment, such as beliefs that psychiatric problems result from personal sin and that secular professionals pose a threat to their faith. Understanding the origins of the tensions between evangelical faith and psychiatric practice as well as the interrelated nature of many evangelical Christians' emotional and spiritual lives can help clinicians understand how to more effectively treat this population. Strategies that build on common ground provide opportunities for establishing trust and navigating differing viewpoints.
期刊介绍：
Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Long known as an interdisciplinary journal, Psychiatric Services recognizes that provision of high-quality care involves collaboration among a variety of professionals, frequently working as a team. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels. Research published in Psychiatric Services contributes to this transformation.
