This much-needed book makes a major contribution to current debates on spiritual care in a health care setting. Written by foremost researchers and practitioners, it engages theoretically and practically with three areas of interest: the organisational context in which spiritual care is provided, looking at how spirituality is manifested in a health care institution; the work of spiritual care givers, focusing particularly on the development of professional and ethical aspects of practice; the social-cultural systems in which care is provided, including discussion of issues pertinent to Christian, Jewish, Muslim and 'multi-faith' scenarios.
This book is an invaluable reflective tool for health care and religious professionals, as well as managers and policy makers seeking to improve the spiritual care of today's diverse patient populations.
