ANNOUNCEMENT: Yahoo Group on Hyperreligiosity

This is a discussion group for the problem of hyperreligiosity.
Hyperreligiosity is a mental illness taking on a religious nature. The
new book "Hyperreligiosity: Identifying and Overcoming Patterns of
Religious Dysfunction" was written to examine examples of it in the
thinking processes and how to overcome them. Psychologists developed
the term hyperreligiosity yet there is no one agreed upon spelling of
it. It can either be spelled as, "hyper-religiousity,"
"hyper-religiosity," "hyperreligiosity," or "hyperreligiousity," and
each spelling is used by doctors, which can be found via doing a Google
search. This is an important and timely subject as religious extremism
is in the news daily.

"Hyperreligiosity: Identifying and Overcoming Patterns of Religious
Dysfunction," written by R.S. Pearson, was recently published by
Telical Books of Seattle, Washington. The book is written by a layman
who was once diagnosed as hyperreligious and who overcame it largely by
studying psychological works that were written at the doctoral level.
Pearson still maintains spiritual beliefs and the book is written from
a spiritual perspective which has a high regard for psychology.

People in this group are entitled to a large PDF selection from the
book upon joining the group. This PDF file is intended only for group
members.

The first twenty-five members to join get a free PDF copy of the full
book "Hyperreligiosity: Identifying and Overcoming Patterns of
Religious Dysfunction."

R.S. Pearson is the owner and designer of ParaMind Brainstorming
Software as well as the author of the "Virtuism: Philosophy and the
Aesthetics of Virtue" and "The Experience of Hallucinations in
Religious Practice," Both of which also have their own Yahoo discussion
groups.
