Presenting the history of psychotherapy among the Latter-day Saints, this title describes how modern psychology has affected the 'healing of souls' in the LDS community. It also shows how this community melded its theological doctrines with mainstream psychiatry when secular concepts clashed with fundamental tenets of Mormonism.

Trade Review
"A very enjoyable book, easily readable and pleasant to peruse."--AMCAP Journal
"A thought-provoking book…The book provides crucial insights into the underlying value systems of modern psychotherapies."--Journal of the American Medical Association
"This book is an important, pioneering contribution to our historical understanding of the relationship between members of the LDS Church and the rising influence of psychology and therapy. It is written so as to be accessible to individuals who are neither LDS nor professionals, although I believe it will be more interesting to those who are."--Journal of Mormon History
