Thema Bryant-Davis

Thema Bryant-Davis (* 1973) ist eine US-amerikanische klinische Psychologin, Professorin an der Pepperdine University in Kalifornien und ordinierte Geistliche der African Methodist Episcopal Church, die 2023 als Präsidentin der American Psychological Association amtierte. Sie steht für die Verbindung von Psychotraumatologie, gelebter Spiritualität und sozialer Gerechtigkeit sowie für kultursensible Ansätze zur seelischen Heilung. Für Bibellesende schlägt sie eine Brücke zwischen christlichem Glauben und moderner Psychologie, indem sie vermittelt, dass seelischer Schmerz kein Mangel an Gottvertrauen ist, sondern Raum für ehrliche Klage und ganzheitliche Begleitung erfordert.
