Assessing and Communicating the Spiritual Needs of Children in Hospital

A New Guide for Healthcare Professionals and Chaplains

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Improving communication between medical practitioners and support services, this book proposes that we use a language of 'connectedness', which can fully describe a child's experience and needs while in hospital, as an alternative to religious or medical language. It also outlines an effective assessment tool which uses play and storytelling.
