Being A Wounded Healer presents a "spiritual model of care" to complement the typical "medical model of care." The medical model looks at eliminating wounds. The spiritual model looks at finding meaning in the midst of wounds. The spiritual model presented in this book is based upon the spiritual traditions of all of the major religions. The model is presented to assist physicians, nurses, social workers, clergy, and counselors find meaning in the midst of their own wounds so that they can help patients/clients find meaning in the midst of their wounds.
