Mental Medicine: Some Practical Suggestions From a Spiritual Standpoint; Five Conferences

Excerpt from Mental Medicine: Some Practical Suggestions From a Spiritual Standpoint; Five Conferences

The introduction which Dr. Lewellys F. Barker of Johns Hopkins University has kindly written for this volume shows most clearly the scope and purpose of these addresses. I feel that his words may also do a great deal towards straightening out the tangled ideas of many regarding the relations of the differing professions of the physician and the clergyman in their mutual ministry to the "sick mind."

In addition to Dr. Barker's words, it seems fitting that a few words should be said from the standpoint of my own profession.

These present days are witnessing numerous attempts at closer co-operation between the physician and the minister in the processes of health and healing.
