Summary
The work examines how individuals in the postsecular United States interpret psychotic experiences through religious or spiritual frameworks. It argues that cultural and religious contexts shape the meaning and experience of psychosis, challenging purely biomedical models. The analysis draws on ethnographic and theoretical perspectives to explore how people navigate the intersection of mental illness and spirituality.
