Abstract
  An exploratory examination of workplace friendship deterioration processes
  was conducted using employees' narrative accounts of their experiences.
  Narratives revealed five primary causes of workplace friendship deterioration
  - personality, distracting life events, conflicting expectations, promotion,
  and betrayal. Narratives also indicated that individuals relied primarily on
  indirect communication tactics, including avoidance of nonwork topics in
  conversation, nonverbal cues, and avoidance of socializing away from the
  workplace to disengage from workplace friendships. Consequences of workplace
  friendship deterioration included emotional stress, reduced ability to perform
  tasks, turnover, and altered perceptions regarding the role of friendships in
  the workplace. Discussion and suggestions for future research are provided.

Abstract
  (from the chapter) A foundational assumption of this chapter is that it is
  possible to draw a distinction between pathological and normal spiritual
  development. An alternative approach is, however, possible. Some might argue
  that spiritual development is socially constructed such that the designation
  of a particular form of spirituality as pathological is a matter of 
  interpretation, based entirely on social convention, rooted as it may be in
  historicopolitical structures. In the end, the radical relativism of such a
  position is philosophically and even functionally unsatisfying. However, this
  perspective is valuable in elucidating the cultural influences on the
  understanding of spiritual development and its location in a particular
  context. The authors begin this chapter by briefly discussing the history of
  attention paid to spiritual and religious pathology in the social sciences,
  followed by definitional issues and four "methods" for identifying
  pathological development. They then turn to specific examples of spiritual
  pathology. In this chapter they will also address four areas of religious and
  spiritual pathology that make their appearance in youth and have been given
  attention within the social sciences: delusions, terrorism, cults or new
  religious movements, and the special case of young people who have been
  subjected to trauma. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights
