Spirituality is a central part of holistic care that addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of care in an integrated way.
The chapters are written by experts in their fields, pitched at the practitioner level rather than addressing ‘spirituality’ as a purely theoretical concept.

Undergraduate and Postgraduate education
Acute healthcare settings
Mental health
Primary care
End of Life Care

Ideal for practitioners, educators, trainees and managers in nursing and healthcare, the book is also relevant reading for occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers and psychologists.
