Pastoral Care with Young and Midlife Adults in Long-Term Care (Haworth Series in Chaplaincy)

A person living with a disAbling condition has issues and challenges much different from others. Pastoral Care with Young and Midlife Adults in Long-Term Care puts a needed spotlight on various disAbling conditions needing long-term care; the issues facing people who are disAbled individually and collectively; theology available to address concerns; insights into individual spirituality; and practical recommendations for pastoral care staff. Focusing specifically on adults between the ages of 18 to 64 rather than those over that age, this source examines ways to effectively work with those who have disAbling conditions achieve a higher quality of life. The book contains a bibliography of source material, a glossary, and an annotated list of movies and videos that illuminate pastoral care issues and offer perspectives on death, dying, and grieving.
