The Rebirth of the Clinic by Daniel P Sulmasy
Explores the nature of illness and healing, focusing on health care's history as a spiritual practice and on the human dignity of the patient. Combining sound theological reflection with doses of healthy skepticism, this title describes empirical research on the effects of spirituality on health.
An insightful resource, obviously the product of intensive study, rigorous analysis, personal experience, and prayerful reflection.. There is no question that any health care professional would benefit greatly from reading The Rebirth of the Clinic. Health Progress The Rebirth of the Clinic is a highly worthwhile collection ... Sulmasy's book is an eloquent call for medical practice as focused on relationships as one disease, with whole lives as much as isolated symptoms. It is a passionate call to embrace religion and spirituality as more than means to therapeutic ends... This book is vital reading for anyone interested in spirituality, health care, and the continuing presence of the sacred in the midst of the clinic. Sulmasy's work may not transform the American health care system, but it will inspire readers to think carefully about these issues. American Journal of Bioethics
