Counseling the Terminally Ill: Sharing the Journey

Placing a focus on the spiritual needs of death and dying, the theme of this book is that the focus of counselling with people who are dying should be on the psychospiritual aspects of death and dying.

It is based on two assumptions - that death and anxiety, not pain, are the most critical issues for the dying, and that the time of dying is an opportunity for growth and transformation.

The author believes that it is imperative for counselling professionals to realize that at this time understanding and caring are primary.
