Drawing on hundreds
of research studies and clinical trials that examine the effectiveness of
religious psychotherapies from Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist
perspectives, Dr. Koenig describes the ways that religious faith can
contribute to mental health .

Dr. He examines ways of overcoming
these barriers, suggesting and detailing possible solutions that will
require the cooperation between government agencies and private and
faith-based groups .

He describes five categories of faith-based organizations (FBOs)
that deliver mental health services and provides details on their
organization and mission, along with examples that illustrate their
functions.

training at Duke University Medical Center.

Key topics include:

-- Sources of infrasound and low frequency noise and vibration: detection,
measurement and analysis;
-- Propagation of infrasound and low frequency noise in the atmosphere;
-- Propagation of vibration in the ground and in structures;
-- Perception of infrasound, low frequency noise and vibration by man and
animals; effects on man and animals;
-- Interaction of low frequency noise and vibration: vibrations caused by
noise, radiation of noise from vibrating structures;
-- Low frequency noise and vibration control.
