The Psychology of Religion and Place Summary

The Psychology of Religion and Place: Emerging Perspectives by Victor Counted

This book examines the role of religious and spiritual experiences in peoples understanding of their environment. The contributors consider how understandings and experiences of religious and place connections are motivated by the need to seek and maintain contact with perceptual objects, so as to form meaningful relationship experiences. The volume is one of the first scholarly attempts to discuss the psychological links between place and religious experiences.The chapters within provide insights for understanding how peoples experiences with geographical places and the sacred serve as agencies for meaning-making, pro-social behaviour, and psychological adjustment in everyday life.
