Now he wants to connect with you!

Robert has published a variety of research articles in scholarly health journals, and he is the author of two books.

In How to Be an Even Better Listener: A Practical Guide for Hospice and Palliative Care Volunteers (JKP 2018), Robert draws on his experience as a health care practitioner and clinical educator to articulate a spirituality of listening. He presents findings from his original qualitative research and reflects on his own formative relationships. Filled with engaging stories from his clinical practice, this book illuminates spiritual needs in times of illness and loss, and how to respond to those needs with greater compassion and empathy.

In Listening Into Being: Spiritual Resources for Reflective Practice in Health Care (Forthcoming), Robert brings topics of loneliness, nature, art, music, and even theatre groups for non-actors into conversation with the art of creating empathic therapeutic relationships in clinical practice.

Content shared in this community will include podcast interviews with thought leaders, original qualitative research, articles, book chapters, book reviews, and other creative ideas and suggestions to help guide and enhance our understanding of spirituality and practical theology as helpful resources to more fully and effectively address the many complex social needs in the world today—in health care and beyond, at work and at home.

Robert is a graduate of Yale University and the University of Toronto.
