| Résumé: | The data from longitudinal studies presented in Religion, Personality and Mental Health indicate that there is no evidence of a consistent link between religiosity and pathology. Psychiatrists have traditionally used religious examples to illustrate such categories as catatonic posturing, delusions and depression.
