There has been a groundswell of interest in and recognition of the importance the spiritual part of a person's life has to play in coping with/recovery from illness as well as in the attainment and maintenance of health, well being and quality of life. Addressing the spiritual part of life is now a key part of the health care professional's job but this raises the question of how this part of life can be assessed and catered for and how health care professionals might be equipped for this task. Wilf McSherry and Linda Ross's new edited text tackles this very issue with contributors from different

This book describes the art of charting patients' spiritual perspectives in an open way that will help physicians and nurses to better direct medical care. It includes practical information on how to distil spiritual needs into pragmatic language, helping to demystify spiritual experience.

Gathering together thoughts and visions of experienced practitioners, academics, educators and strategic leaders from around the world, this edited volume sheds light on the nature of chaplaincy and its role and significance within ever-changing contemporary healthcare systems. A wide range of issues central to spiritual care delivery are covered, including reflections on what it feels like to be cared for by a chaplain through illness; the nature of chaplaincy as a profession; and how chaplains can engage with healthcare institutions in ways that have integrity yet are also deeply spiritual. The focus throughout is that chaplaincy should not only be guidance for people in distress, as a form of crisis intervention, but is rather about helping to promote wellbeing and enhance people's quality of life. Where specialisms tend to fragment systems and individuals, this book seeks to show that true health and wellbeing can only be found through a holistic approach, and shows how chaplaincy can bring this to the table. This book is for anyone who recognises the centrality of spirituality for wellbeing, and wishes to see what that might look like in practice.

"Die Beobachtung des zunehmenden Einbezugs von Spiritualität im Gesundheitswesen (Spiritual Care) und des wachsenden Bedarfs an (medizin-)ethischer Orientierung unter Berücksichtigung individueller Wertvorstellungen nimmt die Autorin zum Anlass, nach dem ethischen Gehalt der etablierten Spiritual-Care-Praxis zu fragen. Auf Grundlage einer Systematisierung der Spiritual-Care-Verständnisse bildet die theologisch-ethische Diskussion der beobachtbaren Identifizierung von Spiritualität als Sinnsuche einen Schwerpunkt der Arbeit. In Ergänzung wird eine care-ethische Perspektive eingebracht und ein erweitertes Verständnis von Spiritual Care, als spiritueller Sorge, entwickelt"-- Back cover.

"This book is a general guide to the theory and practices in Islamic spiritual care including some recommendations. It is not, however, a prescription solution to every situation. Its second purpose is to provide Muslim caregivers with essential tools to implement an appropriate care plan for Muslims. It explores the answers to the questions: What are the needs of Muslims in different settings? What are the theoretical frameworks and interventions of an appropriate care for Muslims? This book can also help those who interact with Muslims better understand their need for Islamic spiritual and religious care. It also gives a brief but concise explanation of various forms, foundations, and spiritual care agencies in Islam."--
