Society for the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality
Division 36: Society for the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality promotes the application of psychological research methods and interpretive frameworks to diverse forms of religion and spirituality; encourages the incorporation of the results of such work into clinical and other applied settings; and fosters constructive dialogue and interchange between psychological study and practice on the one hand and between religious perspectives and institutions on the other. The division is strictly nonsectarian and welcomes the participation of all persons who view religion as a significant factor in human functioning. The division's quarterly Psychology of Religion newsletter contains original articles, book reviews, announcements, and news of interest to division members.
