As mainstream Irish mental health facilities remain attached to a biomedical framework, religious outlets in the voluntary sector play a vital role in promoting social inclusion among the mentally ill. This book examines religion’s therapeutic potential, exploring aspects of Catholicism as manifestations of Max Weber’s concept of brotherliness.
