Description:... Understanding mental health from a religious, literary, and philosophical point'of'view represents a critical component in current research on alternative approaches to well'being, spiritually and physically. This volume contains a selection of papers drawn from a conference at The University of Arizona in May 2013 addressing all these issues from a variety of perspectives, inviting us to consider them especially through a historical lens.
