Product Description
Health care professionals, clergy, chaplains, social workers and others who counsel people in medical crisis often find themselves faced with deeply awkward questions: Why is this happening to me? Am I dying? Why should I live? Im just a burden to others. Here is a workbook that suggests healing verbal responses to such expressions of spiritual pain. The accompanying DVD helps reinforce the lessons and exercises that integrate psychology, psychiatry, pastoral counseling, nursing, chaplaincy and spiritual direction for whole person care. The author, an internationally recognized expert in spiritual caregiving, points out that wanting to help is one motivation for learning these skills, but there are also evidence-based reasons: helping patients express their innermost feelings promotes spiritual healing; spiritual health is correlated to corporal and emotional health; spiritual coping helps patients accept and deal with their illness; and patients tend to want their health care professionals to know about their spirituality. Lessons, tips and exercises teach how to listen effectively, with guidelines for detecting and understanding the spiritual needs embedded in patients conversations. Suggestions are provided for verbal responses to patients who express spiritual distress, including tips for building rapport, using self-disclosure and praying with patients. An FAQ section deals with frequently questioned questions and miscellaneous in rank, such as: What do I do when a patient discussion on and on and I have to place? How do I resolution a why question? What do I say to a patient who believes a miracle will happen to cure them? What if Im not religious? How can I talk about it? By involved and using these healing techniques, Taylor clarifies, health care professionals will be able to provide patients responses to their questions that allow them to become intellectually, emotionally and physically aware of their spirituality so they can experience life more fully.
