Healthcare has become so technologically driven that a person's spirituality is not always integrated into the treatment plan. Making Health Care Whole is an excellent resource for clinicians working with patients dealing with a serious illness and end of life decisions.

As a healthcare provider with over 35 years experience predominately in the intensive care unit, I recommend this book as a useful tool. It provides practical aspects of incorporating spiritual issues through screening, obtaining histories and assessments, intervention, follow-up and quality improvement in a compassionate and patient-centered heath care system model of care.

Making Health Care Whole: Integrating Spirituality into Patient Care speaks of the importance of spirituality in the health care system and provides tools to integrating spiritual concerns into the health profession. Health professionals will find this comes from a national conference discussing guidelines for clinical practices: chapters are scholarly but specific add address issues ranging from patient spiritual screening at the point of entry into the health care system to implementation models, with case histories profiling common concerns.

Book is in good shape, minimal wear. No rips or tears noted. Receieved the book within 2 weeks. Thank you
