In his book "In Anton Boisen: Madness, Mysticism, and the Origins of Clinical Pastoral Education," Sean J. LaBat offers a critical re-evaluation of Anton Boisen's life and work. Drawing upon extensive archival research, LaBat contends that Boisen, who grappled with intermittent severe mental illness, possessed a remarkable blend of creativity and mysticism. He re-imagined pastoral care and envisioned alternatives for those institutionalized, challenging the prevailing notions of shame and stigma. Through his insights, Boisen illuminated new possibilities in patient-centered healthcare, community support for individuals with mental illnesses, and reconciliation between religion and science. Boisen ventured into the enigmatic territory of madness and mysticism, exploring the interplay between illness and inspiration. His interdisciplinary approach to his craft remains remarkably contemporary and profoundly relevant to the fields of medicine and religion, surpassing previous generations in its significance.
