Drs. Kenneth Pargament, Glenn Gabbard, Holly Crisp-Han, Nate Carlin, and Andy Achenbaum blessed all who attended ISH's 20th Annual Psychotherapy and Faith Conference, held 11-11-11 at St. Paul's United Methodist Church.  The subject of the conference was a timely one in America's current culture: "Money, Sex, and Power: When Psychotherapy and Faith Go Wrong."  

There were 270 registrants – a diverse crowd made up of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses and other health care givers.  They were effusive in their comments concerning the conference.  One psychologist said "I have attended most of your previous conferences and this one was the best.  The speakers were outstanding.  I don't see how it could have been better."

For ISH President John Graham's summary of the conference lectures, see his blog entry here.
