Spiritual Care statt Seelsorge? ebook

The topic of spiritual care is booming! Whilst some talk about a multi-disciplinary concept of "spiritual care" from a palliative medical point of view, or of a new specialist area for human medicine, others are thinking of a more modern version of clinical pastoral care.

After illustrating the theoretical and practical design of spiritual care, there is room for constructively critical questions. Based on ascertainable (in-)compatibilities between spiritual care and pastoral care, Nauer provocatively puts in a nutshell, why spiritual care is a serious challenge for health care employees, pastoral carers, churches and charities/ welfare institutions.
