Rövid leírás:
Psychiatrist and bioethicist Robert Klitzman here explores the need for spiritual guidance among patients and their families who are experiencing illness. They often struggle to make sense of their situation, and as they confront their mortality they will try to seek hope, purpose, and larger connections beyond the world of medicine. While physicians are frequently uncomfortable with these issues, often under sung hospital chaplains can and do fill this void. Klitzman uses interviews with patients, families, and chaplains to bring their stories to life; and more broadly he explores the ways in which hospitals and the health care system might address this neglect of a vital human need in times of crisis.

The modern world faces religious, spiritual and existential quandaries, as new technologies redefine the beginnings and ends of life. Excruciating choices arise about when to turn off the machines - whether and when we should "play God." The COVID-19 pandemic made these dilemmas ever more acute. Increasingly, however, public discourse on religion and spirituality is polarized, with evangelicals on one side and vehement atheists on the other.
Psychiatrist and bioethicist Robert Klitzman explores how patients and families struggle to make sense of serious disease and threats of death and other medical crises, seeking hope, purpose and larger connections beyond themselves. Physicians and other clinical staff are frequently uncomfortable with these issues, and chaplains have been filling the void, developing valuable approaches and insights. Most Americans will die in hospitals or nursing homes, and face existential and spiritual quandaries. Many of their prior religious and spiritual beliefs will fall short, and chaplains will often be the ones to assist, partly by reframing narratives and understandings of illness and spirituality. Yet people often know little, if anything, about these professionals. Klitzman presents stories about the spiritual lives of patients and explores the role of chaplains - who they are, what they do and the challenges they face.
Drawing on in-depth interviews and the author's personal experiences, Doctor, Will You Pray for Me? provides vital information that can assist in medical care decisions. Robert Klitzman argues that a better understanding of the relationship between these realms will enable more holistic and humane treatment of patients.
“In this insightful, thought-provoking book, Klitzman illuminates how patients find and maintain hope when facing serious ailments. As a physician, researcher and writer, he masterfully weaves together gripping stories of doctors, patients and chaplains, and recent research demonstrating how hope and spirituality positively affect human health. This remarkable book shows how physicians need not only to use cutting-edge medical science, but to be equally aware of the human spirit.” -Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize Winner and author of Song of the Cell
