Existential Health and Well-Being 1 Secular psychiatry in a postsecular world Ricko Damberg Nissen Niels Christian Hvidt 1 MA Religious Studies & Anthropology, Research Unit Psychiatric Hospital Middelfart, Institute for Health Research University of Southern Denmark 2 Professor, Master of Theology, Th.D., Institute for Health Research University of Southern Denmark Scandinavia is regarded among the most secularized parts of the world, and the psychiatric hospital is regarded among the most secularized of the public spaces. From a postsecular perspective, however, the resurgence of and renewed interest in religion, have shown many examples of how the religious is re-surfacing in the public sphere; in television, social Medias, schools, hospitals, politics, and in psychiatry. This paper brings together the postsecular perspective with the results from a PhD study of religion in a forensic psychiatric ward in Denmark. Based on a series of interviews with psychiatrists’ the aim of the project was to research how psychiatrists’ approach religious topics, and if, then how they incorporate their patients’ religiosity in the treatment, and how the religiosity/irreligiosity of the psychiatrist’ influence their approach to patients. The paper will present and discuss the findings of the project, and set it in relation to international debates within psychiatry of the relationship between the secular and religion, as well as postsecular and multicultural perspectives, asking the question; can there be a secular psychiatry in a postsecular world? 2 Impact of Existential Health Determinants. Reflexions on Person centered and cultural sensitive Public Health Promotion Wolfgang Rutz, Professor of Social Psychiatry, University of Coburg, Germany Existential factors play an important role in salutogenic and health promoting activities that on an aggregate level are directed to the public health and resilience in a society. However, hitherto, in times of a predominance of profit oriented marked economy and all too often instrumental as well as dehumanized health approaches, these have probably not been given the crucial importance they deserve. The numbers of epidemiological phenomena indicating public physical and mental ill health problems are increasing. An influx of migrating populations emanating from cultures with different value systems imposes new challenges to hosting countries. A reorientation from solely physical and material strategies on health towards even existential and spiritual approaches should be discussed. Examples for this need will be elucidated and the feasibility and eventual consequences of a more spiritually focused health promotion will be elaborated on. |
