About this title

Synopsis

Our goal is to start a new spiritual care discourse and widen the lens of spiritual care, providing a more capacious, humanist methodology that demonstrates how the sharing of our respective spiritual skills will enhance the work of each discipline in healthcare. In turn, these changes could lead to much needed cultural shifts and social transformation for a more holistic person-centered care and less moral distress for healthcare workers. This anthology addresses key gaps in the current spiritual care literature, highlighting the shared transdisciplinary skills clinicians possess to support patients’ and families’ emotional and spiritual needs, as well as our individual and collective vulnerability in hospital settings.
