SPIRITUALITY, HEALTH and HEALING (1 day)
Applications for Professional Practice
Recent years have seen a growing interest in spirituality's role in
the lives of clients and healthcare professionals alike. Just 5 years
ago
only 3 out of the nation's 125 medical schools offered courses on
spirituality,
while a full 2/3 offer such courses today. Using rigorous scientific
research
as a foundation, this seminar will examine the complex,
multidimensional
relationships between spirituality, religion, health and healing, with
special attention given to the ways in which recent research can be
used
in therapeutic work with patients and clients. Updated information on
how
psychoneuroimmunolgy, quantum physics, chaos theory and recent findings
in archeology and anthropology support a more holistic approach to
understanding
the nature of illness, health and healing will be explored.
