Today, October 1st, 2015, is the 50th anniversary of the death of Anton T. Boisen (1876-1965), founder of the clinical pastoral movement.
Without Boisen, no one would be doing clinical chaplaincy today.
Because of him, we who are clinically trained in pastoral care, counseling and psychotherapy are able to help others to find meaning and purpose in the midst of crisis, distress, loss and grief.
--David Roth
NB: The photo of Boisen's grave at Chicago Theological Seminary was taken at the time of the CPSP Plenary in March this year.
