Dear Helen,

Thanks for sending this. I did not get first time round (nor at least
one more) - maybe a glitch in my email? Thanks very much for your
suggestions.

>>Hello Steve,
>>Regarding books. modesty of course should forbid me mentioning some of the
>>work that has emanated from here, but I have decided to forego modesty this
>>morning!  The book Sacred Space - right relationship and spirituality in
>>health care (Wright and Sayre-Adams 2001) explores the nature of
>>spirituality and primarliy its relevance to health care professionals.  And
>>of course, no derpartment worth its salt should be without a subscription
>to
>>the journal - Sacred Space - a quarterly scholarly exploration of
>>spirituality and health ( some of your correspondents such as Helen
>Leathard
>>and John Swinton are on the editorial Board).  The journal is about to go
>>into its fifth volume.
>>Pretty much anything by Dr Larry Dossey comes strongly recommended from me
>-
>  >including "Prayer is good medicine", "Recovering the Soul" and "Healing
>  >beyond the body."  His wife Dr Barbara Dossey is a distinguished
>  >nurse/scholar in her own right, and I would recommend the book she
>co-edited
>>"Holistic Nursing" - it's the best of the genre and has some excellent
>>chapters on healing, holism and spirituality.
>>Jeanne Achterberg's work has been groundbreaking and is very authoritative
>>("Imagery and Healing", "Woman as Healer").  Ram Dass and Paul Gorman have
>>produced and excellent text on the nature of helping/healing/spirituality
>>("How can I help") and Frances Vaughan is I writer I hold in high esteem
>>bridging the gap between psychotherapy/counselling and spirituality (e.g.
>>"Shadows of the Sacred").  Edinburgh's own Bani Shorter ("Susceptible to
>the
>>Sacred") is covering similar territory.
>>Helen Orchard hs worked a great deal with chaplains in England and produced
>>a major study two years ago, but for the life of me I cannot remember the
>>title and somebody has nicked my copy.  She has also edited "Spirituality
>in
>>healthcare contexts" a book which draws on her research and includes
>  >chapters of papers given at a conference on the theme.
>>
>>I presume you are aware of the Scottish Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy,
>>to which I subscribe and which I can also strongly recommend.  "Raft" is a
>>good Buddhist journal on Buddhist spirituality and health matters, and the
>>very scientific Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine regularly
>>addresses spirituality/health matters, including studies on prayer,
>  >spiritual healing etc.
>>
>>I guess books giving general overviews of religion would not go amiss, and
>>my essential text in this field would be Houston Smiths "The Religions"  (I
>>think that is the correct title).
>>
>>Can't think of anything else right now,
>>hope this helps,
