religion and psychotherapy

[Adam Blatner]

Here's an article about religion and psychotherapy:

   Psychiatrists Are The Least Religious Of All Physicians : Science Daily - A nationwide 
survey of the religious beliefs and practices of American physicians has found that the 
least religious of all medical specialties is psychiatry. Among psychiatrists who have a 
religion, more than twice as many are Jewish and far fewer are Protestant or Catholic, the 
two most common religions among physicians overall.

     I wonder how much this also involves other types of psychotherapists? And then 
there's the question of what is religious and when that would overlap with or exclude 
those who consider themselves "spiritual." It depends how one asks the question. Do you 
attend services at a mainstream church?   I don't know what the key questions were.

    I think it does speak to some degree to one of the prejudices that conventionally 
religious physicians and many others have with the stereotype of psychoanalysts, 
psychiatrists, psychotherapists in general---that they're godless and amoral.

Interesting. Warmly, Adam
