Healing the Broken Spirit identifies the causes of spiritual injuries, the spiritual consequences, the resulting problems created by these injuries, and different methods for spiritual healing. Healing the Broken Spirit defines spiritual injuries "as an irreconcilable contradiction between what a person believes to be true and what is actually true." In addition to producing spiritual injuries, these irreconcilable contradictions turn into blind spots that make the spiritually injured person susceptible to the same type of temptations. These blind spots make people instinctively reactive to situations or events that remind them of the original pain caused by the spiritual injury. Healing the Broken Spirit identifies the causes of spiritual injuries and provides excellent suggestions to overcome the crippling effects of unresolved spiritual brokenness.

In the summer of 1995, Mary Earle returned from a vacation feeling refreshed and restored from her time away. A few days later, all that changed, when she was rushed to the emergency room with a case of acute and life-threatening pancreatitis. Being ill, she discovered, forces you to learn to live in whole new ways, ones often marked by limitation and fragility. As a priest and spiritual director, Earle began to explore ways in which her own prayer life might help her build a different relationship with her illness. Using the Benedictine practice of lectio divina, or sacred reading, she began to "read" her own illness, and discovered a way of befriending and helping to heal--if not cure--her body and her life. In Broken Body, Healing Spirit, Earle introduces this strategy to others who are hungry to find ways of living more fully despite chronic or serious illness or pain. Her practical, step-by-step approach to "reading the text of our illnesses," and learning to listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us will be of help to those who are currently suffering with disease or limitations, as well as to those who are caregivers and counselors.

Mental health problems among asylum seekers and refugees are becoming a public issue, but awareness of this problem among the mental health community is relatively low.

A publication offering practical guidelines for the treatment of torture victims and political refugees does not exist. Broken Spirits aims to bring together the works of the most respected mental health professionals - from the U.S. and abroad - and make available the most current knowledge on complex PTSD, forced migration and cultural sensitivity in diagnosis and treatment.
