Reviews and Testimonials
“Building on the well-established foundation of a biopsychosocial model of clinical practice, Nolen and colleagues offer a path for healthcare providers to add spiritual dimensions to the physical, emotional, and social considerations of a patient's well-being, fostering a truly holistic approach to care.”
Jonathan B. Perlin, MD, PhD, MSHA, MACP, FACMI, FAMIA, President and CEO, The Joint Commission Enterprise
“This wonderful book highlights the importance of attending to spirituality as a central component of whole-person care. Pharmacy is a front-line vocation where the opportunities for deep listening and engagement are prevalent, and this is a wise resource to spur deeper attentiveness.”
L. Gregory Jones, PhD, President, Belmont University
“Importantly, while the book’s focus is rightly on patients, it reminds us that by nourishing our patients’ souls, we feed our own — a byproduct desperately needed in this time, when symptoms of burnout threaten the effectiveness of more than half of our healthcare colleagues.”
Michael S. Woods, MD, MMM, Surgeon and Author
