Clinical Theology

Abstract

"The Clinical Theological Association is now a well established movement in Great Britain. Like other young and vigorous movements, mention of its name tends to invoke a strong reaction, either for or against, in medical men and clergy. This reaction can quickly lead any discusion of Clinical Theology into a discussion of its founder and mainspring, Dr. Frank Lake. Although some knowledge of Frank Lake is necessary to help us to understand the origins and development of the movement, we must also consider some other historical factors which have made Clinical Theology what it is today"
