Description

This book enables chaplains to deliver vital spiritual care to non-responsive patients and their families. With exercises, worksheets and case studies, it demonstrates how chaplains can develop the confidence and skills needed to engage with patients in meaningful ways, while affirming their personhood and bringing comfort to their loved ones.

Research shows that non-responsive patients benefit significantly from spiritual and pastoral care. This book equips chaplains with the confidence and skills to deliver excellent care in this challenging context. With exercises, worksheets, small group activities and case studies, it sets out how best to use words and body language, foster trust and respect, and involve patients' loved ones. It provides practical ways to recognise and affirm the humanity of the patient, and how to engage with the patient by employing skills of listening and presence.
