Now in its second edition, this handbook for health professionals who deal with patients of differing religions and cultures has been revised to include new information on each of the major faiths. Hollins, a former priest with The Church of England and a healthcare chaplain with the UK National Health Service, focuses on the need for spiritual care in treatment facilities and provides specific recommendations for patient sensitivity in regards to such groups as Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans, Sikhs, Zoroastrians, Buddhists and many others. Additional resources for each religious group are provided so that doctors, nurses, administrators, therapists, midwives and hospital chaplains can study these faiths in more detail.
