Jon Dawson's bi-weekly column has been a feature of the Kinston
Free Press since 2008. Whether chronicling the antics of
perpetually inebriated Free Press concierge Paulette Burroughs or
Leroy Bin Laden's "J'had'er Done" movement, Dawson never shys away
from the tough questions: - How did a door-to-door door salesman
become the first male Rockette? - Why did the Kinston Free Press
add vitamin C to their ink? - Why did Santa make his deer wear
bullet-proof vests? - Why did Amnesty International storm a
minature golf course? - How did Bill O'Riley and Keith Olberman
bond over a gigolo? - Why does a N.C. town require a three-day
waiting period on all kitchen utensil purchases? - What did Elvis
say when Michael Jackson showed up in heaven? - What caused a rock
band to steal an entire hotel room? - Is the Kinston Free Press
printed on potato skins? - Why was the fire department called to
assist with a prostate exam? For answers to these questions and
many more, fork over a few dollars and get your own copy of "Making
Gravy In Public." All material copyright 2011 Jon Dawson/Moodring

Spiritual Care in Psychological Suffering: How a Research
Collaboration Informs Integrative Practice highlights spiritually
integrative research and demonstrates the evolution of a national
partnership of psychologists and chaplains collaborating for
optimal results. Interdisciplinary teams are the gold standard in
spiritual care provision, and this book orients the purpose and
promise of such collaboration for research and practice. Recent
work in the psychology of religion and spirituality has emphasized
the importance of relational spirituality, distinctions between
harmful and helpful effects of religion and spirituality on mental
health, and the relevance of spiritual struggles for psychological
well-being; however, these dimensions have not been examined in the
context of a collaborative and culturally diverse partnership, nor
have they been comprehensively examined in psychologically
distressed populations. This volume seeks to make an important
contribution to the psychology of religion by providing an in-depth
look at translating integrative research into integrative practice
in a population that has experienced significant psychological
suffering. It is hoped that insights from this volume will
contribute the following: foster more rewarding chaplain-researcher
partnerships; offer a deeper understanding of the intersections
among spiritual experience, virtues, and psychological distress;
and demonstrate approaches for inquiring about individuals'
spiritual lives in the midst of psychological suffering.
