.More about the book:
The Spiritual Care Giver’s Guide offers practical and academic approaches to the art of spiritual care and therapy. It investigates three essential areas of concern to the care giver: identity, practice and relationships resulting in a diversity of understandings that emphasizes resilience, flexibility and respect. Care giving is investigated through the use of music therapy and an aboriginal cultural helper. Practical chapters about providing care to those who are experiencing fetal loss and poverty are included as are chapters about supervision and essential thinkers like Anton Boisen and John and Julie Gottman. The combination of case studies, research and theory found within the covers of The Spiritual Care Giver’s Guide will make an excellent textbook for the classroom or a reference for those in pastoral education units. Clinicians and therapists will also find it to be a helpful resource.The editors hope that this guide will bring transformation and be a helpful guide on your journey in spiritual care and therapy.
