信仰治療(英語:Faith healing),是指透過祈禱宗教靈修的方式,對生理或心靈上的疾病,藉著上帝神靈的力量,進行醫治及治療。信仰治療一般被視在替代醫學的一部分。有些學者認為,信仰治療屬於偽科學[1][2][3][4][5]但也有醫護界機構認為,信仰治療對病人有一定程度的幫助。[6]

透過祈禱神靈干預治病,在歷史上非常普遍的做法。[7] 不少聲稱可以透過信仰治療眼盲失聰癌症愛滋病發展障礙貧血關節炎言語障礙多發性硬化症皮疹、全身麻痺、身體受傷等疾病[8]。信徒相信,人們可以藉著祈禱,或參拜神社,或靠一個強烈的信念而治療這些疾病。[8]

宗教證據及批判

一些意見認為,宗教治療的療效,能間接提供有上帝或超自然力量的證明。一些意見則認為,宗教治療,在排除假記憶錯誤記憶造假可能後,可能只是安慰劑效應及大腦作崇。[9][10]

There are also activities that, although not classified (or claimed) as science, have implications that trespass into the scientific territories. Examples of this category of activities are the claim that we have been visited by aliens riding unidentified flying objects, all psychic phenomena, and faith healing. We study the nature of all these activities under the general heading of pseudoscience. . .

For example, most scientists dismiss the notion of faith-healing, a phenomenon for which there is a certain amount of evidence.

Such examples of pseudoscience as the theory of biorhythms, astrology, dianetics, creationism, faith healing may seem too obvious examples of pseudoscience for academic readers.

[T]he authors of the 2002 National Science Foundation Science and Engineering Indicators devoted and entire section of their report to the concern that the public is increasingly trusting in pseudoscience such as astrology, UFOs and alien abduction, extrasensory perception, channeling the dead, faith healing, and psychic hotlines.
