Dr. Robert Klitzman has learned the truth about the value of spiritual care through his professional practice and his own lived experience. As an author, he’s written over 180 articles and books on critical issues in bioethics regarding doctor-patient relationships and communication, research, and other areas. Robert realized the whole-person impacts of a traumatic grief event after the death of his sister in the Twin Tower attacks on 9-11.
Speaking with physician colleagues, Robert heard them voice erroneous beliefs about the support that chaplains provide. His book Doctor, Will You Pray for Me?: Medicine, Chaplains, and Healing the Whole Person describes an in-depth look into the work of hospital chaplains. The book demonstrates how chaplains, as part of an interdisciplinary team, help families “make sense of serious disease and threats of death and other medical crises, seeking hope, purpose and larger connections beyond themselves”.
