Abstract

This book urges us to look beyond causal reductionism, yet it does not mention the loss of a sense of the sacred in the world today. What is overlooked is the need to restore a spiritual dimension to psychology, which is key to rehabilitating a true “science of the soul.” Although Moghaddam calls for the full support of disadvantaged minorities, nowhere (in the book) is it recognized that these same people are often anchored in spiritual traditions and wish to receive mental health services that take into account their sacred worldview.
