Description and goals
Mayo Clinic is pleased to announce its 2010 Mayo Spiritual Care Research Conference, Spirituality and Health Across the Life Span: Investigation and Application to be held November 4 and 5, 2010 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York, New York. He is also attending psychiatrist in the pain

His research efforts have focused on psychiatric aspects of palliative care and included studies of interventions for anxiety, depression, desire for death, and delirium in cancer and AIDS patients. Most recently, Breitbart has developed a novel psychotherapy intervention aimed at sustaining meaning and improving spiritual well-being in the terminally ill (meaning-centered psychotherapy) and has conducted several randomized controlled trials to demonstrate its efficacy in advanced cancer patients. Meaning–centered psychotherapy has been developed and tested in both group and individual formats. Among his many awards is the 2009 Arthur Sutherland Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Psycho-Oncology Society. Breitbart has published extensively on the psychiatric complications of cancer and AIDS with approximately 100 peer review publications, and 200 chapters and review papers.
