Abstract

When Chaplaincy and Psychiatry examine their own methodologies, do they work to reduce age-old barriers, thereby involving each other to promote holistic patient care? Chaplaincy trains in self-awareness and pastoral care specializing in religion, spirituality, grief and loss; while Psychiatry trains in medicine, neurology, and the behavioral neurosciences. Relationships across disciplines with common interests are vital. Ongoing dialogue between these professions will enhance the shared goals of coping and healing in the communities they serve.
