Both religion and spirituality (R/S) have played a major role in lives of human beings since the dawn of mankind and that remains the case in most cultures. Scientific literature shows a remarkable increase in high-quality research publications in the past decades providing insights and evidence-based information into the relationship between R/S and mental health. However, despite most mental health professionals acknowledging the importance of R/S issues in clinical practice, there has a been a large gap in translating this knowledge to clinical practice and professional training in mental health. Based on these unmet needs and on the robust available evidence, this book presents a comprehensive and sensitive review and summary of evidence and recommendations regarding R/S and mental health to inform clinical practice. Then a brief summary of the three sections (Theory, General principles of religions and relationship with mental health, and Clinical practice) and of the 25 chapter is presented.

The author reviews the empirical literature concerning the relationship of women's multiple roles to mental health. A conceptual framework is proposed postulating that negative mental health outcomes may result from high levels of stress and demands across roles and a low level of agency or control over those demands. Suggestions for future research within this model as well as implications for clinical practice are presented.
