Wilderness and Wayfaring: Navigating Faith Amidst Depression

In the contemporary landscape of mental health care, the focus often shifts to identifying and fixing sets of symptoms, sometimes overlooking the profound relational and spiritual needs of individuals. While modern psychiatry has undoubtedly enhanced the quality of life for many, it frequently falls short of addressing the holistic well-being of those it seeks to serve. Dr. Warren Kinghorn and Dr. Jessica Coblentz invite us to consider the successes and limitations of current mental health practices, highlighting the necessity of a more comprehensive paradigm of healing rooted in Christian tradition and praxis.

Warren Kinghorn, MD, Th.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Duke University Medical Center; Esther Colliflower Associate Professor of the Practice of Pastoral and Moral Theology, Duke Divinity School; Co-Director, Theology, Medicine, and Culture Initiative, Duke Divinity School

Jessica Coblentz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Religious Studies and Theology & Gender and Womens Studies, St. Mary's College
