Abstract: This article builds on prior studies of the Isenheim Altarpiece ( c . 1500–16) by focusing on the medico-religious function of the plants and animals that feature in its design. It argues that while some of Grünewald's paintings of natural subjects presented instructions for harvesting and formulating remedies against illnesses collectively known as St Anthony's Fire, others were intended to depict the physical and spiritual symptoms of these diseases. The purpose of these images of suffering as a form of spiritual medicine that was activated by the practice of affective piety is exa

Abstract:
A growing body of evidence has shown the influence that religion and spirituality have on individuals duelling with illness, especially at advanced stages of disease. It is often vital for such individuals to have their spiritual and religious beliefs respected and, potentially, integrated in a compassionate caregiving setting for healthcare systems. However, given the diversity in religions and spiritual practices, healthcare professionals ought to approach such cultural significance with cultural humility, i.e., approaching differences in beliefs without relying on stereotypes or assumptions

Abstract Based on archival research and supplemented by ethnographic observations, this article critically revisits the history of La Divina Pastora, the Madonna of Spanish origin, in colonial Trinidad, focusing on how the spirituality and materiality of two statues of this Marian image intersected, competed, and reinforced each other: a fair-complexioned La Divina Pastora in northern Trinidad, created and patronized by the Catholic central authorities; and a dark-skinned, miracle-working La Divin/Sipari Mai in Siparia, formerly a peripheral Spanish mission in southern Trinidad.

AbstractBackgroundDementia is the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. The notion of Medical‐assistance in Dying (MAiD) among dementia and Alzheimer’s patients has been legalized in Canada and Netherlands. However, there has been little research dedicated to clinical intervention and clinical ethics in MAiD as well as policy, legal, ethical barriers and challenges, and research gaps for physicians, dementia care specialists, healthcare providers, and carers. In Canada, MAiD accounts for 2.5% of all deaths, including dementia.MethodA comprehensive search in Google Scholar, PubMed, and the

Abstract:
In the 1970s, scientists combined spiritual meditation methods with scientific knowledge to access the curative potential of belief-based practices. Mindfulness was one of several meditation methods scientists claimed could deliver health benefits. In 1979, Jon Kabat-Zinn redefined traditional mindfulness meditation for clinical use, later rebranding the training as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). Mindfulness eventually became the dominant object of meditation research, spawning a family of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs). Today MBIs are embedded within UK health and social p

La Bioetica ci insegna quanto sia importante che la Medicina sia disposta a guardare e a trattare l’uomo che soffre nella sua interezza spirituale e corporea, opponendosi a quella cultura scientifica che ha perso il senso della unità dell’individuo, curando la patologia e non il malato. La prospettiva olistica è quella che meglio comprende il concetto di salute, in quanto definisce la salute come abilità di conseguire gli scopi vitali riferendosi all’uomo nella sua interezza. In questa modalità di affrontare l’uomo nella sua globalità, entra in gioco la corporeità, base necessaria per la relaz

With growing life expectancy, age-related mental health issues are rising in the elderly. Whether normal aging or pathological senility, mindfulness practices are useful, economic, and accessible.
