Spiritual Care, holistic care, Multidisciplinary Working, SpiritualityAbstract
In this article the author addresses the ambivalence felt by doctors in the delivery of spiritual care. A number of issues are addressed including the place of spirituality within healthcare and holistic care, the role of the doctor in the delivery of spiritual care and the need for greater cooperation between disciplines in this area of healthcare. This is the first of two articles examining the relationship between doctors, spiritual care and healthcare chaplaincy.
