Do Some Religious Beliefs Help Create Emotional Disturbance

Abstract

Although some religious beliefs obviously have psychotherapeutic value to some of the people some of the time, people who have a devout belief in dogmatic and damning religions tend to be emotionally disturbed. It is also hypothesized that people who adhere to the teachings of absolutistic and perfectionistic religious groups will tend to be more frequently and more intensely disturbed than those who follow more flexible, less dogmatic religions.
