Book Reviews of ASSESSING SPIRITUAL NEEDS
Book Review: A good place to start
Summary: 4 Stars
A very simple and easy introduction to doing spiritual assessment. It is especially geared towards chaplains in clinical settings, but equally usefull for anyone who does spiritual assessment on a regular basis. Fitchett summarizes the previous literature very well, and is well documented. Although his 7X7 system seemed a bit unwieldy for my purposes, I found it highly adaptable.
On the downside, the book lacks a bibliography, which is why I gave it only 4 stars.
Summary of ASSESSING SPIRITUAL NEEDS
How do pastors, chaplains, and caregivers assess the spiritual well-being and needs of the people they minister to? George Fitchett presents a model for spiritual assessment that he and his colleagues developed, illustrated with case studies. He reviews a number of other models and provides a six-part framework for evaluating them. Pastoral caregivers find that the effectiveness of their ministry is enhanced when they are able accurately to identify problem areas and needs in the spiritual lives of the people with whom they work. This book addresses many of the questions pastoral caregivers have raised about this timely topic and provides an informed and balanced approach for making decisions about spiritual assessment models and tools. George Fitchett is associate professor and director of research and spiritual assessment in the Department of Religion, Health, and Human Values at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago.Pastoral Counseling Books
