Post Assessment/history

I believe that asking religious history/denomination can be very helpful. It gives an understanding of where folks "came from" even if that has changed. Also, 15 years ago or so there were a lot of formal spiritual assessments. The one I like best was published in Health Progress magazine in 1993. It allows for a self-assessment. I have a hard copy - will get it entered so it will be available to anyone who would like it.

I would be very interested in a copy of it. I'm curently a hospice chaplain. Am always looking for assessment tools. Has anyone used one developed Rohr or Groves? Thanks Vicki

I agree that learning the spiritual tradition of the patient and family can be especially helpful when responding to the presence of life threatening or limiting disease. A copy of the document you mentioned will be welcome. Thank you for the offer... bob nee

People should not forget that receiving PlainViews (www.plainviews.org)is a good way to be in touch with many chaplains around the world. It is a great place to not only read what others are doing, but to ask for help and ideas. The Rev. George Handzo Vice President Pastoral Care Leadership & Practice The HealthCare Chaplaincy New York, NY
