Overview
Overview
This book is the history of an important institution that played a major role in the restoration of the union of medicine and spirituality in American medicine. Other institutions played a role, too, but the story of the Institute of Religion is particularly noteworthy because it took place in the Texas Medical Center, which today has become the largest medical complex in the world. This is the first comprehensive history ever written about The Institute for Spirituality and Health, as the organization is called today. This chronicle covers the years from 1955, the year the Institute was founded, until 2015, when the book was published. Today the mission of the ISH is to increase knowledge of and sensitivity to the role that spirituality plays in health and in healing. To accomplish this goal, the Institute hosts workshops and conferences, provides continuing education for chaplains and brings in guest speakers from all over the world. The ISH also conducts academic studies with evidence-based research and disseminates its findings to the public. The Institute also trains area medical students about the role spirituality plays in healing. The non-profit organization depends on contributions from the community to achieve ongoing success.
