| Summary: | Explores the meaning of well-being, rather than being well. Well-being is linked to recognition of and alignment with the spiritual dimensions of life, a wholistic approach. Then one's life and struggles with life's limits are open to life's fullest possibilities. Reviews the growing recognition of the role of prayer and spirituality in healing and advocates that the community of caregivers take seriously what they do as vocation, particularly in the context of re-engineering and management of health care. Suggests paradigms for understanding life, persons, and the care of persons which give the spiritual dimensions of life their proper role and call for cooperation in healing. |
