Jane Marie Thibault - Aging and Spirituality
j_thibault-s.jpg I have been working with older adults and their caregivers for thirty-two years as a gerontologist/ clinical professor of Family and Geriatric Medicine at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, where I direct the geriatric assessment program and teach social gerontology in the school of social work. I also serve as an adjunct faculty member at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, teaching ‘Pastoral Responses to Aging’ when that course is needed. Although I am primarily involved with the medical and social aspects of aging, my prevailing interest is in the nature of psycho-spiritual development in later life. I developed and have investigated and used “Dedicated Suffering” since 1995. I presented the concept at the Duke University School of Medicine Conference on Spirituality and Medicine in the spring of 2004 and now travel throughout the country teaching it in a variety of settings.

Dr. Thibault is the author of A Deepening Love Affair: The Gift of God in Later Life and Ten Gospel Promises for Later Life and co-author with Richard L Morgan of No Act  of Love Is Ever Wasted: The spiritulatiy of caring for persons with dementia (Upper Room Press, 2009).
