Deconversion Revisited: Biographical Studies and Psycho-metric Analyses Ten Years Later

Deconversion is a dynamical biographical process with long-term, slowly changing causes and consequences. Based on quantitative and qualitive data, DECONVERSION REVISITED presents ten longitudinal case studies representing the lifespan from early adulthood to old age. These case studies are based on reinterviews with the Faith Development Interview and questionnaire data ten years later. The data yield insight in stability and change of biographies, faith development, psychological well-being and coping with disengagement from a variety of religious backgrounds.
