Making hospital chaplains in an age of biomedicineWill III, Willard Wilson January 2010 (has links)
In this dissertation, I explore the training and work of chaplain residents in a large, inner-city university hospital in the eastern United States as a participant in a two-year Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program, a culturally unique religious apprenticeship that combines (1) pastoral care on assigned hospital units with patients, family, and medical staff with (2) classroom reflection and analysis in a small student cohort with an experienced supervisor-practitioner. I utilize this experience both as a privileged lens onto issues of suffering, reflexivity, and the body and to introduce a significant yet largely overlooked component of the therapeutic enterprise to scholars of the social and philosophical aspects of medicine. / I set out to accomplish several tasks with this work. First, I seek to broaden anthropological depictions of religion in biomedical settings, particularly those that present it as an eccentricity, weakly rational coping mechanism, psychopathology, and/or import from non-Western cultures. Second, I challenge interpretations of decision- and meaning-making in clinical settings that focus narrowly on biomedical practitioner/patient relations. I do this by analyzing narrative interactions between chaplains and patients in order to highlight the distinctive role of religious practitioners in reflexive and semiotic aspects of the inpatient experience. Third, I attempt to broaden anthropological understandings of the formation of religious leaders by examining processes of role ascription and role attainment in the face of a medical system that is increasingly hegemonic in its scope, both psychologically and morally. I do this through (1) a phenomenological analysis of residents' exposure to clinical difference and strangeness; (2) a thick description of their development of an altruistic, non-judgmental presence and their demarcation of therapeutically appropriate emotional, spiritual, and somatic boundaries; and (3) a typology of the ways in which the doctrine-experience dialectic leads to the gradual emergence of individual philosophies of pastoral care. Fourth, this research offers novel insights about solidarity and authority to the growing sub-discipline of the anthropology of Christianity, an emerging specialty which has shed light on social relationships in ecclesiastical and community settings, as well as on symbolic healing rituals, but has had relatively little to say about the role of religious specialists in healing vis-à-vis Western clinical science. / Dans cette thèse, j'explore la formation et le travail de résidents aumôniers (chaplain) dans un hôpital universitaire situé dans un grand centre urbain de l'Est des États-Unis. Je me base ici sur ma participation à un programme d'Éducation pastorale clinique (CPE), un apprentissage religieux unique sur le plan culturel, qui combine (1) un service pastoral sur des unités assignées avec des patients, des familles et le personnel médical, et (2) un travail de réflexion et d'analyse effectué au sein d'une petite cohorte d'étudiants placés sous la direction d'un superviseur-praticien d'expérience. J'utilise cette expérience à la fois comme un point de vue privilégié sur les questions de souffrance, de réflexivité et de corporéité, et comme une manière d'ouvrir sur une composante de l'entreprise thérapeutique encore largement négligée par ceux qui s'intéressent aux aspects sociaux et philosophiques de la médecine. fr / Ce travail se donne différents objectifs. D'abord, je vise à élargir la manière dont l'anthropologie se représente la place de la religion dans des contextes biomédicaux, en interpellant particulièrement les descriptions qui la présentent comme une excentricité, un moyen peu rationnel d'affronter les problèmes, un signe de psychopathologie et/ou quelque chose d'importé à partir de cultures non occidentales. En deuxième lieu, je questionne les interprétations des processus de décision et de recherche de sens en contexte clinique, qui se centrent de manière étroite sur les relations entre patients et praticiens biomédicaux. Je le fais à partir d'une analyse des interactions narratives entre aumôniers et patients, en vue de mettre en relief le rôle distinctif des praticiens religieux par rapport aux aspects réflexifs et sémiotiques de l'expérience de l'hospitalisation. En troisième lieu, je cherche à élargir les façons dont l'anthropologie approche la formation des leaders religieux, en examinant les processus d'assignation et d'acquisition de rôle face à un système médical qui se révèle de plus en plus hégémonique dans sa visée, à la fois psychologique et morale. Pour y arriver, je procède ici (1) à une analyse phénoménologique de l'exposition des résidents à la différence culturelle et à l'étrangeté; (2) à une description riche de la manière dont ils développent une présence altruiste et dépourvue de jugement et celle dont ils établissent des frontières appropriées sur les plans émotionnel, spirituel et somatique; (3) et à l'élaboration d'une typologie des façons dont la dialectique doctrine - expérience conduit à l'émergence graduelle de philosophies individuelles de service pastoral. En quatrième lieu, cette recherche offre de nouveaux éclairages sur les notions de solidarité et d'autonomie et contribue ainsi à un champ en expansion, celui de l'anthropologie de la chrétienté, une spécialité

Without Power, Without Glory: Palliative Care for Children the Nation’s Best Hospital Couldn’t CureSilverstein, Jason Bryan January 2016 (has links)
Based on ethnographic fieldwork and drawing on anthropological, clinical, and social science literature, Without Power, Without Glory examines the work of a palliative care team of physicians, social workers, and nurses who cared for children and families who faced catastrophe and could not be cured in an institution whose professional identity, metrics for success, and global advertising campaigns are centered on cure.
This dissertation details the social construction of pediatric palliative care, which is often wrongly seen as both synonymous with hospice and clouded by the team’s close relationships with patients and families. Since the palliative care team often follows patients for many years, it also captures the way that children age out of innocence and into suspicion, especially with regards to pain medication for chronic illnesses. As a consult service that operates at a financial loss for the hospital, this dissertation reports on the palliative care team’s struggle to advocate for patients and families in the face of bureaucratic indifference. Though the hospital aggressively recruits children with complex illnesses for financial gain, it documents how comfort is pitted against technical care, which means the palliative care team and especially chaplaincy services are often excluded or not even hired. Finally, Without Power, Without Glory explores truth and lie in the disclosure of prognosis to families and shows how the responsibility to foresee is often diffused from the medical team onto children who are said to speak through tests. / Anthropology
