Psychiatric Education

Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter addresses the topic of how to teach psychiatric residents to understand and deal with religion and spirituality in an ethically responsible and sensitive way. It focuses on ethical concerns of both trainees (learning the psychiatrist’s role in dealing with patients’ religious/spiritual issues) and educators (finding a proper stance with respect to religious/spiritual issues that emerge in the teaching context). The competence of professionalism as such is addressed, including ethical implications of dealing with patients’ religious/spiritual issues and interference of these issues with one’s own role fulfillment. Being a psychiatrist requires insight into not only the religious/spiritual needs of the patient but also the affective, moral, and spiritual aspects of the professional’s own journey. Sharing the narrative of one’s journey may provide fresh perspectives on how to deal with the tensions and brokenness that are inevitably part of our professional lives.
