Summary

Thoroughly updated, this award-winning book looks at spirituality and nursing from many perspectives: theoretical, historical, religious, psychological, physiological. In her thoughtful exploration of the reemergence of spirituality as an important factor in nursing practice, Barnum traces nursing's involvement with spirituality from its historical ties with religion to the current interest in New Age and alternative health methods. Nursing theories involving spirituality, such as those presented by Dossey, Newman, and Watson are examined and nursing trends are placed in the larger context of trends in society and other disciplines, including psychology, physics, and philosophy. Information on techniques and therapies for incorporating spirituality into patient care is included in this edition.
