Title is part of eBook package: transcript eBook Package English Contemporary 2016-2018Summary: In modern societies the functional differentiation of medicine and religion is the predominant paradigm. Contemporary therapeutic practices and concepts in healing systems, such as Transpersonal Psychology, Ayurveda, as well as Buddhist and Anthroposophic medicine, however, are shaped by medical as well as religious or spiritual elements.

How do therapeutic practitioners position themselves between medicine and religion, and what is their appeal for patients?
