Health Care Chaplaincy in Oncology (Haworth Marketing Resources)

Tremendous strides are being made in the medical field in the treatment of cancer. However, excellence in cancer care requires attention not just to physical symptoms, but to the whole person within the context of his or her larger system. This book addresses some of the great variety of issues facing chaplains and others concerned about the spiritual care of patients who work with those who live with cancer. Chaplains, chaplains-in-training, clinical pastoral education students, and graduate students in social work and counseling education, will find Health Care Chaplaincy in Oncology an extremely helpful guide to increase the quality of the support and care they give when working with individuals with cancer.Laurel A Burton is the author of 'Health Care Chaplaincy in Oncology (Haworth Marketing Resources)', published 1993 under ISBN 9781560242000 and ISBN 1560242000.
