Call for Papers: Continuation and Disruption in Psychiatry and Religion (original) (raw)

The relationship between psychiatry and the study of religion has been historically strained, with psychiatric approaches not fully integrating the perspectives from religious studies. Current psychiatric literature increasingly defines religious elements in clinical contexts, but often overlooks contemporary religious scholarship. This paper invites submissions for an open panel addressing the intersections of these fields, proposing critical questions regarding the impact of psychiatric models on religious understanding, the limitations of retrospective diagnoses, and the potential for interdisciplinary dialogue.
