Publishing on the 50th anniversary of the opening of St Christopher's Hospice - widely thought of to be the first modern hospice, combining pain and symptom management with education and training - this edited collection discusses what motivates professionals and volunteers to provide spiritual care. This book shows how the world of hospice care is moving on from Cicely Saunder's, founder of St Christopher's Hospice, legacy to providing spiritual care in a more integrated manner.

With entries from doctors, nurses and CEOs among others, this book informs good practice for professionals and volunteers providing spiritual care for patients and their families. It looks at how, for many of these professionals, spirituality does not have to be grounded in organised religion, but stems from understanding and providing for our human needs.

Ros Taylor, Hospice UK. 4. Offering Hope in Healthcare. Becky McGregor, Physiotherapist Early Mountbatten Hospice. 5. Relationship and Resilience. Pippa Hashemi, Volunteer, St Christopher's Hospice. 6. Total Pain and Diversity. Linda McEnhill, Educationalist, St Joseph's Hospice. 7. Exploring Spiritual Pain through the Arts. Olwen Minford, Psychotherapist, Kings College London. 8. Working with the Tension of Spirituality and Religion, Bob Whorton, Chaplain, Sir Michael Sobell House Hospice. 9. Spirituality and Vocation, Liz Arnold, Nurse, Earl Mountbatten Hospice. 10. Practicing Spiritual Care, Kostas Kontelias, Sally Mercer, Ninon VanDerKroft, Social Workers. 11. Conclusion, Andrew Goodhead and Nigel Hartley.

This book brings together a compelling blend of personal reflection, practical experience, and conceptual exploration of a profoundly important area. Its contributors are often movingly and refreshingly honest, and their collected breadth of experience comes together into a whole that will be deeply thought-provoking for practitioners and non-specialists alike.
