In recent years profound changes have affected the way people view the role of religion and
spirituality in the life cycle. For many people spirituality always considered an essential
part of religion has become an interest no longer tied to organized religion. This book
addresses the evolving relationship of spirituality to religion in our time and the
consequences of this change for understanding personality development. It also applies the
concept of implicit religion to show how the least easily observed aspects of religion are at
work in the growth of personality.
