There has been a groundswell of interest in and recognition of the importance the spiritual part of a person's life has to play in coping with/recovery from illness as well as in the attainment and maintenance of health, wellbeing and quality of life. Addressing the spiritual part of life is now a key part of the health care professional's job but this raises the question of how this part of life can be assessed and catered for and how health care professionals might be equipped for this task. Wilf McSherry and Linda Ross's new edited text tackles this very issue with contributors from different disciplines (including nursing, medicine, theology and chaplaincy) and countries (UK, USA, Malta) offering their own perspectives on this important part of care. Each chapter, therefore, has its own unique style but is concerned with one outcome, to see spiritual assessment and care as an integral part of holistic care whatever the setting. Contents include: Introduction - Linda Ross & Wilfred McSherry Why the increasing interest in spirituality within healthcare? - Linda Ross The meanings of spirituality: a multi-perspectival approach to 'the spiritual' - John Swinton Recognising spiritual needs - Aru Narayanasamy Spiritual Assessment: definition, categorisation and features - Wilfred McSherry The spiritual history: an essential element of patient centred care - Christina Puchalski Indicator based and value clarification tools - Donia Baldacchino Assessing and improving the quality of spiritual care - Mark Cobb Dilemmas of spiritual assessment - Chris Johnson Considerations for the future of Spiritual Assessment - Linda Ross and Wilf McSherry

How do pastors, chaplains, and caregivers assess the spiritual well-being and needs of the people they minister to? George Fitchett presents a model for spiritual assessment that he and his colleagues developed, illustrated with case studies. He reviews a number of other models and provides a six-part framework for evaluating them. Pastoral caregivers find that the effectiveness of their ministry is enhanced when they are able accurately to identify problem areas and needs in the spiritual lives of the people with whom they work. This book addresses many of the questions pastoral caregivers have raised about this timely topic and provides an informed and balanced approach for making decisions about spiritual assessment models and tools. George Fitchett is associate professor and director of research and spiritual assessment in the Department of Religion, Health, and Human Values at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago.

Publisher's description: A growing consensus exists among helping professionals accrediting organizations and clients regarding the importance of spiritual assessment. The development of specific spiritual assessment instruments however has lagged behind this emerging interest. Further the varied needs and interests of clients suggest the importance of a variety of assessment methods rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This practice-oriented text describes a complementary set of assessment instruments: spiritual histories spiritual lifemaps spiri-tual ecomaps spiritual genograms and spiritual ecograms. In addition it presents a variety of empirically-based interventions that flow from each instrument along with several case examples for illustration.

Spirituality often plays a critical role in health and wellness, yet few have explored in detail the process through which practitioners can identify and use clients' spiritual strengths to their mutual advantage. To address this gap, this practice-oriented text equips helping professionals with the tools they need to administer spiritual assessments ethically and professionally. David R. Hodge outlines a number of assessment approaches, including an implicit method for evaluating "secular" forms of spirituality. Case examples illustrate the implementation of these strategies in different clinical settings and with groups from diverse racial, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

The spiritual assessment is a psychic reading (also known as a sitting), primarily conducted for those developing their spiritual abilities and requiring an experienced medium to help them find focus, purpose, validation and empowerment. In the same vein that someone will consult a psychic medium for life guidance, the spiritual assessment will place the emphasis on the spiritual development of the sitter. The spiritual assessor is an experienced psychic medium, who already understands the terminology described within this book. However, some terms are included in the glossary, as novices practicing for conducting spiritual assessments, may prefer some reference points. Glossary items are underlined.A sitter requests a spiritual assessment for many different reasons. The most common reasons are:•Reassurance they are on the right pathway and the next steps•Feeling ‘lost’ or ‘blocked’ with their progress•Validation of their abilities, experiences and interests•Discovery of new potentials•Advice and/or knowledge on how to progress•Discussion time with an experienced mediumIf you are a psychic medium - YOU GOT THIS and it is a liberating way of helping others, through your skills and experience. For all that you sacrificed and experienced to follow your chosen path, you can now help others, so they are no longer feeling alone, misunderstood and unsupported. The spiritual assessment is the most requested ‘one to one’ experience at the Arthur Findlay College (The world’s foremost college for psychic sciences). Those of us who walk the path of the spirit, know it is a genuine soul journey and also know there are times when we need to take stock of our own progress.In this book, we will explore the deeper reasons for the spiritual assessment, develop a tried and trusted approach to success for you and your sitter, which empowers and supports each other’s goals.

This third volume of The Chaplain Skill Set Series discusses the importance and nuances of the spiritual needs assessment. Chaplain Evans reviews the importance of having intentional conversations regarding spiritual resources individuals many need in times and crisis as well as how to process and make meaning of defining life moments. There are many types of spiritual needs assessments, this book reviews ten most common assessments noted in literature and used in healthcare settings. The reader will quickly see a common pattern noted in the assessments and be able to design their own spiritual needs assessment tool in the form of conversational questions which best fit their own ministry setting. This second edition also includes a new section of actual chaplain visits in the style and quality of Volume 1: The Fundamentals, and in Volume 2: Understanding Spiritual and World Faith Expressions. The book Series has a three-fold purpose. It is designed for: 1) individuals who are unfamiliar with the unique field of chaplaincy, 2) for laity or clergy who are discerning whether or not to go into chaplain ministry, and 3) for seasoned clergy and chaplains who simply want to revisit the tried and true skill sets which produce an excellence in chaplaincy.
