Master's thesis, Harvard Divinity School.https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37372484In this paper, I apply attachment theory and the therapeutic skills it represents to hospital/health care chaplaincy to show the ways it benefits patients and loved ones in the hospital. Through case examples, I explore how emotional safety is possible in this environment. In addition, I provide examples of how attachment theory can be used in Clinical Pastoral Education to train chaplains. Finally, I gesture towards an anti-racist approach to chaplaincy through attachment theory.en-USattachment theoryhospital chaplaincychaplaincyanti-racismattunementThesis or Dissertation2022-07-06
