Guided Research – Reviews

We’ve recommended a set of top resources that review the literature on research-informed chaplaincy. These articles and other resources represent some of the very best research and practice being done today. Our list is not intended to be comprehensive, and the selection represents the perspectives of the editorial team. These resources will be updated as new articles become available, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions. You can also find curated recommendations for what chaplains do, chaplaincy care in specific contexts, specific outcomes, staff care, and religious/spiritual struggle.
