prof. dr. J.K. (Hanneke) Muthert

My main research theme is existential rehearsal space, a space where you can learn to share what matters in life. What contributes to that meaningful exchange in different work and care contexts? Projects: 1) HORIZON Psypal. Spiritual (network) care in the use of psychedelics for depressed participants in a palliative care context. 2) The implementation of a spiritual care training program at UMCG. 3) Mapping interventions around meaning and identity in mental health care. 4) Good mental health care for young people in the educational context. 5) ZonMw. The connection between professionals and their conversation partners in spiritual care: is the target group central or meaning literacy? 6) ZonMw. Collaboration between spiritual care professionals. 7) Spiritual care in the earthquake region Groningen.
