This book presents a new paradigm for distinguishing psychotic and mystical religious experiences. In order to explore how Presbyterian pastors differentiate such events, Susan L. DeHoff draws from Reformed theology, psychological theory, and robust qualitative research. Following a conversation among multidisciplinary voices, she presents a new paradigm considering the similarities, differences, and possible overlap of psychotic and mystical religious experiences.

"Susan DeHoff has written a significant book on an important topic. It will be of interest to all scholars concerned with the intersection of psychology and theology, especially those interested in the psychology of religion. ...

"This is an important book for all those who have been seduced into accepting the claim that often re-appears in the history of mysticism, namely that there are no Protestant mystics. ... The clarity of her focus and her in-depth useof empirical data make this book an important contribution to the continuing interest in mysticism both within and outside of religious traditions." (Scriptable, rtreview.org, Issue 32, September, 2018)

"The conceptual and historical reach of this book is extensive ... DeHoff's book is a solid step in the direction of the needed collaboration between the disciplines of clinical psychology, theology, and pastoral care. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals." (M. Uebel, Choice, Vol. 56 (2), 2018)
