The department of continuing education at Harvard Medical School and the Mind/Body Medical Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, will be holding their sixth conference on "Spirituality & Healing in Medicine" in Boston from December 12 to 14. It will be followed by another in Chicago, Illinois, from March 21 to 23, 1999. Like previous conferences in this series, they will be attended by a wide range of people from the fields of medicine, science, and theology.
One of those who attended last year's conference in Boston is Giulia Plum, who lives in Redding, Connecticut. Until 1994, she was a psychotherapist working in a corporate environment. Before that, she had worked as a family therapist, and as a psychiatric social worker in an outpatient clinic. She also had a private psychotherapy practice.
Ms. Plum is now fully engaged in the public healing ministry of Christian Science, and we asked her what ideas the conference had evoked about her change of profession.
