Healthcare and Religion Lecture Series

Professor Emeritus of Psychology
Bowling Green State University
Abstract: Major life stressors affect people spiritually, psychologically, socially, and physically. This presentation will introduce the growing body of research and practice on spiritual struggles (i.e., tensions and conflicts about sacred matters with the supernatural, other people, and within oneself). It will note that spiritual struggles are not at all unusual, take a variety of forms, and hold important implications for health and well-being. More practically, this presentation will consider how spiritual struggles can be assessed and addressed in healthcare. It will underscore the importance of multi-disciplinary cooperation and collaboration in working with spiritual struggles.
