WomanSoul: The Inner Life of Ladies Spirituality (Ladies Psychology) by Carole A. Rayburn and Lillian Comas-Diaz

"WomanSoul is a fascinating collection of essays that give voice to the often unconscious spiritual worldview of various communities. It is important for the mental health practice community to incorporate knowledge about these issues. Also critical is the need for this knowledge to be disseminated to those educators and researchers interested in understanding the systems of meaning that exist at this particular time in various communities in our society. This major contribution promotes understanding of this very important aspect of the identities of those with whom we work. Drs Rayburn and Comas-Diaz have compiled perspectives from over 20 contributors, many of whom are scientists, who provide history of women and spirituality, the healing power of spiritual expression, a view into individual journeys, and applications to mental health practice. It is a superb discourse of the multiple and varied views of women's spirituality."-Melba J. T. Vasquez, PhD, ABPP, Past President, APA Divisions 35 and 17
