Summary

Authors Carson and Koenig present a vision of a healthcare system that supports and nurtures the spirituality of patients and their families while simultaneously helping health professionals and caregivers to maintain their own spiritual health. Practical tips and concrete strategies help make this vision a reality by showing caregivers how they can become a vital part of changing the system and integrating a spiritual dimension into their practices. The personal narratives of physicians, nurses, chaplains, healthcare educators, community resource workers, administrators, therapists, psychologists, and social workers -- all from a wide range of religious traditions -- provide inspiration and instruction.
