Rev. Nathan Steven Carlin, PhD (born 1979) is a prolific scholar of medical humanities with an interest in psychoanalysis and religion.[1][2] Dr. Carlin is the Samuel Karff Chair and a professor at the McGovern Medical School, University of Texas' Health Sciences Center (UTHealth Houston) where he directs the McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics.[3][4] He teaches undergraduate and graduate medical students and dental students. His teaching interests include clinician writing, pathography, death and dying, and literature and medicine.

Carlin is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Medical Humanities.[5] In 2018-2019, Carlin served as chair of the faculty senate of McGovern Medical School.

He is a Minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Education

edit

In 2001, Nathan Carlin earned his BA in European history from Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania.[6] Four years later he completed his Master of Divinity Degree at Princeton Theological Seminary.[7] From PTS, he went on to earn his MA (2009) and PhD (2010) in psychology of religion from Rice University[5] in Houston, Texas.

His mentors include Donald Eric Capps, Thomas R. Cole, and Robert Dykstra.[8][9] Carlin has co-authored and co-edited books and articles with these mentors and other colleagues, focusing on psychological and religious matters that arise in clinical contexts.[10]

Scholarly publications

edit

Dr. Carlin has published 10 books and many more articles.[10] His work falls into four overlapping themes:

  • psychoanalytic interpretations of culture and life experiences (see The Gift of Sublimation,[11] Pathographies of Mental Illness,[12] and Religious Mourning[13] below)
  • theological and psychological resources for building happiness and living a good life (see Journeys of Life,[14] 100 Years of Happiness,[15] and Living in Limbo[16] below)
  • incorporating religious and psychological resources to improve clinical care (see Pastoral Aesthetics,[17] "The Meaning of Life,"[18] and "Reflections for CPE Students in Psychiatric Settings"[19])
  • teaching health professions students using experiential material from patients, family members, and health professionals (see Contemporary Physician Authors,[20][21] "The Suffering of Physicians,"[22] and "Doctors and Dr. Seuss"[23] below). The latter category has, in recent years, become the focus of Dr. Carlin's writing, which is currently oriented toward developing core texts for medical humanities (see Teaching Health Humanities[24] and Medical Humanities: An Introduction[25] below).

Personal life

edit

Rev. Carlin is married to Keatan King, also a Minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA).[26] Rev. King is Associate Pastor at St. Philip Presbyterian Church and has served as Chair of the Board of Trustees of Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.[27][28] They have two children.
