How should physicians respond when patients refuse life-saving care on religious grounds? Should doctors pray with their patients? Questions such as these raise deeper ones about the goals of medicine and the nature of healing. In a set of engaging and candid essays, \u003ci\u003eThe Soul of Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e explores the role and influence of spirituality in clinical practice, professionalism, and medical education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this volume approach this topic from their own spiritual perspectives--Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, New Age \/ Eclectic, secular, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christian Scientist.

How does your faith challenge or reinforce contemporary medicine? How do you assess and address spirituality in clinical practice? How do your own beliefs influence your interactions with patients?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Soul of Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e encourages medical students and practitioners to recognize the spiritual dimensions of medicine, to consider how these dimensions inform their own education and practice, and to be compassionate about their patients'--and their own--religious beliefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn R.
