Reviews
Discussion highlights are the use of the phenomenology method for addressing spirituality; a particularly enlightening historical review about spirituality within the profession of nursing, beginning with religious nursing orders up to the present day; and an engaging, comprehensive literature review of the many facets of spirituality. The heart of Greenstreet's book addresses the study's findings: nurses' individual spiritual development influences their own ability with spiritual care. Nurses not only provide spiritual care, but also need it to keep themselves restored and spiritually whole. This book is recommended for nursing educators, practitioners, and students. --L. K. Strodtman, University of Michigan - Choice

Author Information
Dr Wendy Greenstreet commenced this research while a Principal Lecturer in Nursing at Canterbury Christ Church University. She qualified as a RGN in 1978 and as a RNT in 1983. Research to complete an MA(Ed) triggered an enduring interest in teaching spirituality in nursing, and later, in health and social care. A second specialist interest in issues of loss lead to further postgraduate study in psychosocial palliative care, followed by the development and delivery of post registration, and post graduate curriculum in palliative care. Wendy has moved her dual interest in spiritual care and loss forward in this PhD study. She remains an associate of Canterbury Christ Church University.
