Bibliography on spirituality and addictions.

With the rapid growth of the literature on spirituality and addiction, it is important to take stock of research in this area and to begin to describe and understand research trends, gaps in knowledge, areas requiring future and further study, and methodological problems. As a contribution to this effort, a subcommittee of the Spirituality Research Interest Group of the NIDA Clinical Trials Network, along with the Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, and Addictions (CASAA), compiled a library of publications on spirituality and addiction and classified the citations into ten categories that emerged. This poster describes the methods and results of this process and offer some preliminary thoughts on the current state of the knowledge base on addiction and spirituality as a resource for other researchers in the field.
