“…Consider, for example, the frequency with which victims of schizophrenia (literally "split mind") incorporate religious deities into their delusions, arguably as a means of accommodating their nomi to the hallucinations and compulsions characteristic of their disorder (Gearing et al, 2011). self-reinforcing system. Thus, the foresights, insights, and creative syntheses produced by the non-conscious mode are interpreted as "revelations from God" or "epiphanies" (literally "encounters with God"), as when Handel exclaimed, "I think God has visited me!"…”

A socio-evolutionary theory of the origin of "God" is presented. Its starting point is behavioral duplexity, the fact that human beings are subject to two parallel modes of behavioral control: an older non-conscious system and a newer conscious one. The theory posits that the fabrication of, and subsequent belief in, supernatural entities ("Gods") is a predictable byproduct of the interaction of these two systems. Specifically, because human beings' profoundly social and moral faculties are primarily non-conscious, individuals experience their functioning as an external and coercive moral force. Faced with the conscious mode's need to maintain the integrity of its nomos by accounting for such experiences, individuals collectively confabulate corresponding external, coercive, and moral entities, to which they misattribute this force. In doing so, they effectively create, and re-create, their "God(s)."

“…The threshold at which religious beliefs can be considered delusional beliefs with religious content has received research attention (e.g. Gearing et al, 2011;Pierre, 2001) and is beyond the scope of this review. However, it is argued here that the interpretation of religious beliefs as pathological can result in failure to assess the meaning and purpose of religion in the life of the individual and subsequent service-user reluctance to discuss religious matters with staff.…”

“…This theme of self-denial and punishment is echoed in Marsden et al's (2008) study in which participants expressed the view that self-starvation is God's will. Gearing et al (2011) conducted a systematic review of the relationship between religion and well-being in individuals with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. They found that religion had been associated with distress, psychotic symptoms, poor pre-morbid adjustment, spiritual despair, social isolation, treatment delay, suicide risk and ease of discussing religion in treatment.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore the extent to which inpatient mental health services attend to the religious needs of service-users. Literature is presented to argue that whilst the importance of religion is highlighted in consumer accounts, research and policy; inpatient services continue to neglect religion and service-users consistently report insufficient attention to religious needs during hospitalisation. Design/methodology/approach -This review adopts a narrative approach to the literature, drawing upon published journal articles, book chapters and policy documentation. Findings -Literature into the topic area is reviewed and discussed within three themes. First, the extent to which religious needs are currently met is explored. Second, potential reasons for neglect of religion are considered. Finally, examples of religiously informed group programmes, individual psychotherapy and the use of traditional healers are detailed. Practical implications -Findings of the review point towards the requirement for inpatient services to more adequately meet religious needs in terms of available facilities. The need for spiritual assessment and collaboration with hospital chaplains is also highlighted, along with the call for increased staff training. Originality/value -It is expected that this review will be of interest to a range of stakeholders including professionals, policy makers and service users. It highlights the void in clinical attention to religious needs and offers practical suggestions for meeting this need.

No entanto, os autores apontam que observar a relação entre religião e esquizofrenia pode ser benéfico tanto para os profissionais de saúde quanto aos pesquisadores com a melhora da adesão ao tratamento, a valorização dos aspectos de proteção e para minimizar os riscos associados 38 .…”

A assistência religiosa a pacientes com transtornos psiquiátricos graves internados é um problema pouco discutido entre psiquiatras. Aspectos legais asseguram o direito à assistência religiosa aos pacientes, no entanto alguns aspectos específicos conduzem a reflexão e cautela em determinadas situações. Assim, objetiva--se com o presente trabalho discutir os aspectos éticos, legais e científicos da assistência religiosa em hospitais psiquiátricos. Serão abordados também alguns comentários sobre os conceitos de autonomia, beneficência e não maleficência, contidos nos princípios bioéticos. Ao final, é apresentada a experiência do Hospital João Evangelista na abordagem de tais casos. Como conclusão, situações de conflito ético e legal podem surgir, pois os pacientes têm direito a receber assistência religiosa, porém podem apresentar manifestações psicopatológicas que poderiam levar a prejuízo de seu quadro clínico diante da abordagem religiosa. A orientação dos familiares e as relações entre hospital, médico, paciente e família são essenciais para a resolução de tais conflitos.Braghetta CC, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2011;38(5):189-93 Palavras-chave: Espiritualidade, religião e medicina, psiquiatria. AbstractThe religious assistance to inpatients with severe psychiatric disorders is a problem rarely discussed among psychiatrists. Legal aspects ensure the right to religious assistance to such patients, although some specific aspects lead to reflection and caution in certain situations. Thus, the main of the work is to discuss ethical, legal, scientific and religious aspects of religious assistance in psychiatric hospitals. It will also address some comments on the concepts of autonomy, beneficence and nonmaleficence, contained in bioethical principles. Finally, it will be presented the experience of the João Evangelista Hospital approach on such cases. In conclusion, ethical and legal conflicts can appear because patients have the right to receive a religious attendance. However, in some conditions, this assistance could lead to a worse in patient's clinical status. Family orientation and doctor-patient-hospital relationship are essential to resolve these conflicts.Braghetta CC, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2011;38(5):189-93 Keywords: Spirituality, religion and medicine, psychiatry.Endereço para correspondência: Camilla Casaletti Braghetta. Hospital João Evangelista. Avenida Nova Cantareira, 3050 -02340-000 -São Paulo, SP. IntroduçãoA religiosidade e a espiritualidade são dimensões integrantes da experiência social e cultural humana e, portanto, da vivência cotidiana de grande parte da população. Um estudo da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) investigou 5.087 pessoas em 18 países, e, dentre os países cristãos fora da África, o Brasil teve a maior porcentagem de entrevistados que indicaram ser "moderadamente" ou "extremamente" religiosos (80% a 90%) 1 .Dados do censo demográfico realizado no ano de 2000 mostram que parcela superior a 90% da população brasileira possui alguma denominação religiosa e grande parte da popu...
