The exploration of evil delves into its true nature, challenging the perception that it is solely associated with monstrous figures or horrific acts. Instead, it suggests that everyone may unknowingly participate in acts of evil, contributing to harm, particularly to the vulnerable. The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing and understanding these hidden aspects of evil to effectively resist and combat it. By bringing awareness to our own potential complicity, it advocates for a proactive stance against the insidious influences of evil in our lives.

Spirituality, religious belief and inclusive faith communities are important for mental well being but mental health practitioners have few guidelines for acknowledging these issues when working with service users. Spirituality, Values and Mental Health gathers together personal and professional contributions from mental health professionals, carers and mental health service users and survivors.

This book is a welcome source of ideas and common-sense that is essential reading for mental health practitioners, carers and service users, chaplains, faith leaders, faith communities, as well as students and professionals working in the field of spirituality and mental health.
