Putting the Pieces Together With Kenneth Pargament

This festschrift reviews some of Kenneth I. Pargament's scholarly contributions to the psychology of religion and spirituality. Over a prolific career, he has offered in-depth conceptualizations on religious coping, sanctification, spiritual struggles, and spiritually integrated psychotherapy. I discuss my mentor's influence on our projects related to wholeness, sacred moments, geriatric mental health, and clinical practice. Woven into this tribute is the image of Pargament as a dedicated jigsaw puzzler, putting the pieces together on a multi-dimensional representation of human nature.
