This book is a compilation of papers presented at the eighth annual conference of the Society of Pastoral Counselling Research (SPCR). The editors of the volume consider this meeting to be very significant since it brought together members of SPCR and members of the Canadian Association for Pastoral Practice and Education (CAPPE). Pastoral counsellors and chaplains met and discussed areas of common concern to both professions. Spirituality and Health explores these areas of common concern and the role of a larger "spiritual reality" in creating meaningful lives, especially in the promotion of well-being and health (xx). The book consists of three parts: part 1, "Faith Perspectives and Challenges" (11-101), part 2, "Spiritual Practices in Health Care" (105-165), and part 3, "Frontiers and Research" (191-306).
