<strong>Arjan</strong> <strong>Braam</strong> (1969), psychiatrist, is based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and is active in the department<br />
of emergency psychiatry and chief instructor of the education program <strong>for</strong> residents in psychiatry <strong>for</strong><br />
Altrecht, a large Mental Health Care organization in the region.<br />
Furthermore, he is a senior researcher in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA,<br />
www.lasa-vu.nl/index.htm ), with a focus on religion and mental health. LASA is carried out in the<br />
VU University and VU University Medical <strong>Center</strong>, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.<br />
With a Protestant father and a Roman Catholic mother, he is at home in the main religious traditions<br />
in the Netherlands, which is currently a rapidly secularizing country, but with a considerable public<br />
interest in the national religious traditions, contemporary spirituality, ethics, and migrant religions.<br />
His dissertation (‘Religion and depression in later life, an empirical approach’ 1999) was based on<br />
data from LASA and EURODEP, a collaborative program of epidemiological studies into depression<br />
in old age. The first studies on religiousness and depression followed a sociological and<br />
epidemiological approach. Afterwards, the possibility was obtained to use methods and insights as<br />
available in the psychology of religion, such as on image of God and religious coping. Again, the<br />
ongoing LASA study facilitated the proceedings of the research.<br />
Within the Netherlands, there are close ties with scholars participating in the Knowledge Network on<br />
Religion, Meaning in Life and Mental Care (contributors: KSGV, CVPPP, Dimence, Stichting<br />
Psychiatrie en Religie). Several international initiatives (World Psychiatric Association, The<br />
European Network of Research on "Religion, <strong>Spirituality</strong> and Health") and repeating contacts with the<br />
<strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Spirituality</strong>, <strong>Theology</strong> and Health of <strong>Duke</strong> University provide new and motivating insights.
Other subjects of research include emergency psychiatry, epidemiology of depression, and case<br />
reports in clinical psychiatry.<br />
