Summary
Elizabeth Johnston Taylor, an internationally recognized expert in spiritual caregiving, has identified communication techniques that help healthcare professionals provide patients answers to questions like these-questions laced with pain and confusion. In What Do I Say? she provides a practical workbook with guidelines for detecting, understanding, and responding to the spiritual needs embedded in patients' conversations. The lessons, tips, and exercises integrate psychology, psychiatry, pastoral counseling, nursing, chaplaincy, and spiritual direction for whole-person care. An FAQ section answers questions such as "What do I say to a patient who believes a miracle will happen to cure them?" and "What if I'm not religious? How can I talk about spirituality?"
