Novel Approaches to Behavioral Health Innovation: Spiritual Health in Psychedelic Medicine: A Meeting of Science and Culture

November 2, 2023

Conversations involving religion and science have historically been a minefield not for the faint of heart.  The metaphysical underpinnings of faith traditions and beliefs have been suspected of impeding natural science and the bio-medical culture of western allopathic healthcare. One profession within healthcare that has stood out as an exception to this tension has been the profession of board-certified healthcare chaplaincy that has existed and evolved into its current form for over 70 years. Prior to this period chaplains were purely religious professionals representing and responding to persons from their own faith traditions. They were largely outside of the healthcare institutions and separate from other disciplines.  Today, there are over 10,000 inclusive-driven multi-cultural clinicians serving within medical facilities in North America alone. We are now into the next era of building on the progress of the legacy of chaplaincy.  Emory University has taken the lead to take this legacy and establish a new evidence-based discipline that is charged to respond to persons "as they are" in their health distress respectful of the wide expanse of the values the person holds, be they explicitly spiritual or not. This position of establishing post-chaplaincy spiritual health clinicians as interdisciplinary team players makes horizontal the work of responding to persons on the widest spectrum of emotional well-being in the multi-faceted contexts of care and treatment. Psychedelic medicine as a compound-assisted therapy has been shown to manifest subjective spiritual experiences leading to sustained benefits in mental health.  This talk is designed to help our healthcare disciplines and healthcare leaders understand the economic and efficacious value of the competencies associated with spiritual health as a critical feature in the provision of psychedelic-assisted therapy and in the wider expanse of whole person health.
