Angel therapy is a form of contemporary angel spirituality applied as a form of psychotherapy. It has largely been rejected by psychotherapy specialists.

History

Angel therapy was created by Doreen Virtue. [1] Leaders of angel therapy movement include Diane Cooper, Doreen Virtue, and Maria Zavoe. [2] Courses in Angel therapy have been taught by Doreen Virtue, [3] [4] [5] Karen Paolino, [6] and Christopher Dilts. [6] Other notable practitioners of angel therapy include Crystal Ra, [7] Manuela Bosco [8] Marta Luise, [2], Lorna Byrne, [2] and Jennifer Buergermeister. [9] [a] Gaetano Vivo, [10] Mariana M. Cooper, [11] Rena Huisman, [4] Aimee Rebekah Shea, [12] Judy Ward, [3] and Judy Lekic [5]

Context and content

Angel therapy is part of contemporary angel spirituality. [8] Angel therapy involes developing a relationship with your guardian angel. [13] Angel therapy also usually involves cards used similarly to Tarot Cards. [4] [6] [14]

Angel therapy is often used alongside other alternative medicine practices. [1] [15] [16] One study in Finland found that practitioners do not generally self-identify as New Age, [8] although they are often labelled that by others. [17] [18] [13] Angel therapists often also work as psychics or mediums [13] [4] [5] Angel healing has sometimes been mixed with elements of Buddhism. [19]

Degrees in angel therapy have been offered by diploma mills. [20]

Angel therapy is sometimes a social practice expressing opposition to perceived overvaluation of work productivity and the medicalization of spiritual ailments. [21]

Scholarly reception

The presence and existence of angels and spirits has not been empirically verified. [19] There have been no studies comparing angel healing to either placebo or other forms of psychotherapy. [19] A panel of 101 experts published in 2006 considered 59 different treatments and ranked angel therapy as the most discredited treatment in the collection. [22] Based on Eisner (2000) and Norcross, Koocher & Garofalo (2006), it continues to appear on lists of therapies to avoid. [23] [24]
