At the crossroads of the mind and the spirit, Psychology, Religion, and Human Need presents a compelling case for the integration of psychological insight with religious and pastoral practice. W. L. Carrington, M.D., argues that ministers, doctors, teachers, and social workers share a common mission — the alleviation of human suffering — and that each profession stands to gain immeasurably from a deeper understanding of the other's methods and wisdom. Drawing on both clinical experience and theological understanding, Carrington instructs his readers in the practical application of psychological principles to the everyday challenges encountered in pastoral and social care settings. The result is a grounded, authoritative guide that bridges disciplines too often kept in separate silos. Carrington's prose is measured and precise, reflecting the dual authority of a medical professional and a thoughtful observer of the human condition. The work illuminates the profound connection between emotional wellbeing and spiritual fulfilment, demonstrating that psychological health and religious life are not opposing forces but deeply complementary ones. Published by the venerable Epworth Press — long associated with Methodist scholarship and pastoral theology — this volume carries the weight of an institution committed to the life of both mind and soul. For anyone engaged in the care of others, the question Carrington poses remains as urgent today as ever: can we truly serve human need without understanding the whole person?
