The author writes from long experience as a nurse and the case studies are very useful. She also has great familiarity with the literature on nursing and spiritual care. There are chapters on the spiritual needs of patients with acute illness or chronic illness, and the spritual needs of children and families, the older adult, people at the end of their lives, and death and bereavement. The role of the parish nurse is discussed, as are mass casualty disasters.
