The interest in the topic of spirituality as a more or less independent dimension of quality of life is continuously growing, and research questions are beginning to change as the field of religiosity changes, becoming more diverse and pluralistic. Addressing new topics in health research also relies on standardized questionnaires. The number of instruments intended to measure specific aspects of spirituality is growing, and it is particularly difficult to evaluate the new instruments. This Special Issue will focus on some of the established instruments (updating them to different languages and cultures), but will also describe the features and intentions of newly-developed instruments, which may potentially be used in larger studies to develop knowledge relevant to spiritual care and practice. This Special Issue will serve as a resource on the instruments used to study the wide range of organized religiosity, the individual experience of the divine, and an open approach in the search for meaning and purpose in life.

Depuis quelques années, de plus en plus de recherches en psychologie abordent la notion de spiritualité en la distinguant très clairement de la notion de religion. La spiritualité (qui peut ainsi être religieuse ou areligieuse) bénéficie donc maintenant de définitions scientifiques qui lui permettent de l'extraire du domaine de la pensée sociale et du sens commun, où elle est trop souvent malmenée et perçue sous un angle péjoratif. Cet ouvrage présente les travaux les plus récents de la psychologie scientifique menés sur la spiritualité et développe les dernières orientations sur cette thématique qui croise la question de l'émerveillement, de la connexion avec la nature, de la quête de sens, du sacré, du rapport au temps... La spiritualité est abordée à la fois au niveau conceptuel dans ses liens avec des espaces disciplinaires comme la psychologie existentielle ou la psychologie positive, et au niveau appliqué dans le monde de la santé, du travail, de la gérontologie ou de l'environnement.

"This book demonstrates how the early religious development of several famous psychologists impacted their lives and work. It shows how this often-overlooked influence is present in both explicit and indirect ways in the thoughts and actions of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Erik Erikson, B.F. Skinner, and Carl Rogers"--

False Bodies, True Selves explores the phenomenon of growing numbers of people in western society and beyond completely embedding their sense of identity in their appearance. Unlike other books which address either theoretical models of appearance-focused identity struggles or explore lived experiences of appearance-based battles, False Bodies delves into both. Importantly, the spiritual aspects of what it is to become enemies with one's body are given centre stage in the context of Donald Winnicott's theory of the true Self and the false Self. The book begins by looking at some of the myths, superstitions and fairy tales related to mirrors before moving on to western society's current obsession with appearance, which seems to have been compounded by the mass media. After looking at some of the most common manifestations of appearance-focused anguish including eating disorders and body dysmorphia, it begins to unpick the possible underlying meanings beneath such struggles with a particular emphasis on issues of a systemic nature.
