The Theology and Therapy Project Website
Welcome to the website for the Theology and Therapy research project, funded under the joint AHRC/ESRC Religion & Society Programme. The Theology and Therapy Project investigates the way in which psychotherapy, Christianity, and "spirituality" have overlapped and inter-twined in the post-war period (1945-2000). Although most of the project's focus is on Scotland, it will also examine some related developments in England.
The project team consists of four Edinburgh University academics: Professor David Fergusson, Professor Liz Bondi, Dr Steven Sutcliffe, and Dr Alette Willis. The project is notable for its interdisciplinary collaboration, since it brings together academics in the School of Divinity and in the School of Health in Social Science.
