In Anton Boisen: Madness, Mysticism, and the Origins of Clinical
Pastoral Education, Sean J. LaBat provides a critical re-assessment
of Anton Boisen's life and work. Based in thorough archival
research, LaBat argues that Boisen, who suffered from intermittent
severe mental illness, was a creative visionary, a mystic who
re-imagined pastoral care and envisioned possibilities for the
institutionalized other than shame and stigma. He shows how Boisen
elucidated new possibilities in patient-centered health care,
community care for the mentally ill, and reconciliation and
dialogue between religion and science. Boisen explored the
borderland of madness and mysticism, illness and inspiration, and
practiced an interdisciplinary approach to his craft that is
surprisingly modern and more relevant to the practice of medicine
and the practice of religion than ever before.
