Research

The world of mental health has a strong, healthy reliance on evidence-based practices that has led to some very effective therapy models. Christianity historically has not relied on research, but tradition, culture, and values. So when we marry the two into Christian mental health, we need to hold both in reverence that I believe furthers the other.

The problem is that the research is scattered across many different platforms and so we wanted to find a cohesive location for it. Below we have a list of evidence supported research. While not all research is the same (read: longitudinal, peer-reviewed, reliability and validity, quantitative and qualitative, and survey versus case study), the ones below we feel are statistically significant based off the report that goes with the data. As we come across more and cite them in our articles, we will be sure to update this list as well as in future iterations, have categories for better reading.

See research you feel needs to be on here that hits the intersection of faith and mental health? Let us know!
