  • Title: 'Paramedical' Healing in Hospitals: The Expansion of Spiritual Care in Seoul.
    Author: Park IY.
    Journal: J Pastoral Care Counsel; 2016 Mar; 70(1):43-52. PubMed ID: 26956750.
    Abstract:
    Emotional and spiritual healing stand at the center of the activity of Catholic pastoral caregivers attending to the sick in non-Catholic hospitals in Seoul. In this paper I explore how these agents understand their practice as part of a holistic human healing, positioning their work side by side with medical healing. I also examine how their role is both confirmed and challenged against the backdrop of the growing commercialization of the health care industry under the neoliberal paradigm.
