This is a scholarly exploration of the subject of spirituality and
health and is relevant to all health care practitioners and those
who support them.
Drawing on the author’ s rich personal experience in the field,
his previously published material on the subject in professional
journals and a wide range of research and other relevant
literature, the book explores a diverse range of themes relevant to
the everyday work of the health care practitioner. Is spirituality
of any relevance to the work of carers? How is it best integrated?
How do we address the spiritual needs of health care staff? What
are the implications for leadership, professional boundaries,
education, health care knowledge and practices?
These and many other subjects and perspectives are debated and
discussed in a lively and imaginative way that is accessible and
authoritative, challenging and thought provoking.
