Partners in Healing

This volume is a handbook for those who visit the sick or needy, whether in hospitals or at home.

The chapters of this book have been written by medical and pastoral professionals, psychologists, and former patients. They represent the new thrust in caregiving that goes beyond doctors' offices, meeting people where they live and in places of the spirit where they need to find healing.
