This new perspective on faith and psychosis offers insight into the unshakable conviction of both delusion and religious fanaticism. The survival of faith and superstition in a secular age is explained in this work. God is located within the scientific world view in a way that respects mystery and so enlarges rather than diminishes our vision.

About the Author
Isabel Clarke combines working as a clinical psychologist in an NHS acute mental health hospital with publishing and speaking on psychology and spirituality. Her earlier book, Psychosis and Spirituality: exploring the new frontier made considerable waves - three conferences and a yahoo discussion list which flourishes to this day. Her earlier career in medieval history, and her involvement with the spiritual wing of the ecological movement, through Greenspirit provides a broad cultural context for her ideas. She also helped to found the Spiritual Crisis Network.
