Event Details

Join Ilene Serlin, in dialogue with host Marilyn Schlitz.

Based on the new textbook Whole Person Healthcare (Praeger, 2007) introduced by David Spiegel and Dean Ornish and featuring giants in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, medicine, pastoral counseling and arts medicine,  this seminar will cover theory, and research behind whole person healthcare, as well as practical examples with Tool Kits of how to integrate these methods into ongoing clinical work. The modern healthcare system is in crisis, and integrative therapies have become especially useful as ancient yet modern, cost-effective complements to traditional medical and psychotherapeutic practices. A whole person approach brings together the best of Eastern and Western evidence-based treatments from a uniquely psychological perspective that is client-centered and based on the relationship between patient and healer. This approach draws from best practices from the American Psychological Association, as well as medicine, psychiatry and pastoral counseling. Example of the approaches include meditation, yoga, prayer, qigong, chaplaincy at the bedside, death and dying, arts medicine and expressive therapies.
