Spiritual care of the renal patient

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter discusses the subject of spiritual care in two distinct and complementary ways and from two different perspectives: Ira Byock views spiritual care from the eyes of an American physician and secular academic, while Chris Davies explores spiritual care from the viewpoint of an Anglican priest. Spirituality is one of the inherent characteristics that every human being posesses, and in order to improve spiritual care giving clinicians must aim to have a full understanding of this concept.
