In October Kevin and I traveled to Brazil to learn about the Spiritist Psychiatric Hospitals, where spiritual healers work alongside the psychiatrists and psychologists. In Brazil, mental health care that integrates Spiritism is a strong preference among the people. There are actually 70 Spiritist centers in the US, however, there are over 12,000 in Brazil where 1\/5th of the population (20-40 million people) will go when they are looking for healing.<\/p>\n

Emma Bragdon<\/a> who has a Ph.D. in Psychology and has authored several books on spirituality and mental health was our guide. She has been taking groups<\/a> of psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health workers to Brazil for over a decade.<\/p>\n

\"Emma<\/a>
\nVisit the CRAZYWISE blog<\/a> to hear video clips from our interviews with Emma as she shares with us how spiritual experiences<\/a> can be tied to mental health and why Spiritism is more accepted<\/a> in the Brazilian culture. You will also find an interview with Dagmar Ramos, a Brazilian psychiatrist and medium, who tells us more about how the practice is integrated into the psychiatric hospitals.<\/p>\n

It was intriguing and inspiring to see a culture strongly embracing alternative treatments for mental health. Thank you to Emma and everyone we met at the workshop for sharing Spiritism with us!<\/p>\n
