When Sickness Heals: The Place of Religious Belief In Healthcare

Siroj Sorajjakool, PhD

(Templeton Foundation Press, 2006)

Description:

Presents a clear, distinct understanding of spirituality in clinical contexts with an argument for the role of meaning in the healing process, based on evidence that there may be healing even in the face of death. Sorajjakool identifies the transitional processes people may go through as they seek to make sense of their experiences during a health crisis. He suggests an alternative approach to spiritual assessment and provides methods of spiritual care that speak to the soul.
