ABSTRACT

Dr. Mathews: Through the training program in Clinical Pastoral Education here in the hospital, we have had at least one Medical-Religious Case Conference a week for the last eight or nine years. I have participated in several of these conferences myself. Usually only a few students, along with those in the helping professions who are closely associated with patients, are present. Because of this, we are particularly pleased to be able to share one of these conferences with a larger public now. In the presentation below, Dr. Dayringer explains the case of one of his current counselees. This young woman is interviewed by Dr. Madden, then by consultants Dr. Trotter, Dr. Jacobs, and Byron Eicher.
