A must-read book for health care chaplains,
By
This review is from: The Discipline for Pastoral Care Giving: Foundations for Outcome Oriented Chaplaincy (Paperback)
This book is devoted entirely to presenting a system for "outcome oriented chaplaincy." It is a must-read book for anyone practicing, or in training to practice, pastoral care in a health care setting today. The material is clear and straight forward. Chaplain Lucas' system summation in the introductory chapter is done nicely; the following chapters vary somewhat in quality, as expected from a book of different authors. The case material is generally good; it allows the reader to see the system in action. A couple of chapters on the use of the system in CPE highlight the usefulness of this system, both as a training method and as a patient care delivery model. This system is not as prescriptive as it may first appear. While it proposes an outline for service delivery; when done well, it actually enables creativity in the pastoral relationship rather than constricting it. This system also enables monitoring of service delivery for quality improvement purposes, which more and more institutions are requiring.
