THE VAN EERDEN EDUCATION AND RESEARCH DAY
Spirituality, the Brain, and Mental Health
Keynote Speaker: Andrew Newberg, MD
Dr. Newberg will present on the relationship between the brain, spirituality, and mental health. Specifically, he will review the most recent research from the field of neurotheology as it pertains to the neurobiological mechanisms of various spiritual practices such as meditation, and how such an understanding can inform us about the relationship between spirituality and mental health and the use of spiritual practices in the context of mental health care.
Objectives • Identify brain areas associated with spiritual practices based upon current research studies.• Describe specific circumstances by which religious and spiritual practices can be useful for patients managing various physical and mental health problems. • Define potential negative effects of religious and spiritual practices on a patient’s health and well-being.
Research SymposiumYou are invited to the Research Symposium featuring Pine Rest Psychiatry Residents and Fellows, in conjunction with many of our outstanding Physicians and Staff, to advance behavioral health care and treatment.

About the William Van Eerden, MD
Lecture Series
Dr. William Van Eerden, a staff psychiatrist at
Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services for more
than 40 years, exemplified a commitment to clinical
excellence in professional practice throughout his
distinguished career. In addition to his strong clinical
reputation at Pine Rest, Dr. Van Eerden was
administratively responsible for the establishment
of the partial hospitalization program, the older
adult unit, was the first director of adult services,
the first director of the psychiatric residency
program, and cared for thousands of patients over
his years of service. In his practice, Dr. Van Eerden combined a commitment
to the highest psychiatric standards with a deep concern for the integration of
faith and behavioral health care.
In keeping with the values demonstrated in his life and career, Pine Rest
presents the William Van Eerden, MD Lecture Series with the support of his
friends and family. This series will feature national and international lecturers
on topics related to best practice of psychiatric care, with a particular
emphasis on spirituality and integration of faith and practice.
The goal of this series will be to help establish a legacy of an education and
learning culture at Pine Rest in keeping with Dr. Van Eerden’s values, life and
professional practice. Ultimately, the program will improve the lives of those
in our community through training in excellent care. This program also
represents an extension of Pine Rest’s strategic plan which calls for superior
clinical outcomes, outstanding customer service and the creation of a great
place to work—one where lifelong learning as well as professional and personal
growth is encouraged and nurtured.
