The Art of Presence Unveiled
Yolanda Sanchez's PhD research explores the profound impact of the Art of Presence in spiritual care. This work bridges academic rigor with soulful practice, offering a new perspective on being professionally present within clinical and community settings. Her experience has led her to recognize the vital importance of integrating chaplaincy and spiritual care with mental health services.”
Academic Findings
Dr. Sanchez's doctoral research establishes a foundational framework for spiritual care within healthcare environments. Her final study explores how intentional, non-anxious presence serves as a primary mode of intervention, bridging the gap between clinical protocols and patients' existential needs. The resulting framework provides academic and practical pathways for chaplains to validate presence as a rigorous, transformative practice in institutional theology.
