Book Description
Healthcare and Spirituality is an introductory textbook which emphasizes the need to integrate spiritual issues in the process of healthcare. It addresses the distance between patients and healthcare professionals by using a patient-centred, holistic approach known as the ‘biopsychosocial model' or ‘contextual care'. It provides a framework to improve communication with patients and their families and adopts a systems based approach covering a wide range of caring environments.
Healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, counselors, therapists and others in caring professions will find this book invaluable, as will undergraduate healthcare students. It is also useful for religious or spiritual leaders and workers.
"It is our contention that the future of health care will be built on interdisciplinary teams of professionals that are equipped to address the full range of human suffering and triumph experienced by those in need. It is with this future in mind that we offer this text." Stephen P Kliewer and John Saultz
