Introduction
The chief criterion for inclusion in this list is that an item
is likely to be of interest to members of the Special Interest
Group. Many colleagues have made suggestions, and more would be
welcome, to help fill the gaps and improve the balance. (Please
provide all publishing details and a brief annotation). Inevitably
there has to be selection and the SIG Steering Group makes the
final decision about what to include. Books listed are almost all
recent, since to tackle the historic literature would be
overwhelming.
The annotations are mostly personal, and are intended to be
helpful rather than definitive. Material between single quotes is
from dust jackets, blurbs or reviews, but has been vetted for
relevance and appositeness. Books starred are regarded as directly
concerned with spirituality as it relates to the practice of
psychiatry and medicine; such categorisation is no more than
indicative.
