AnnotationA review of the literature of spirituality examines its treatment from various viewpoints: the religious experience; whether the holding of religious beliefs or engaging in spiritual practices is beneficial to people's health; questions of existence; the spiritual needs of carers; the perspectives of philosophy, psychology, or science; and Islam. The dementia angle is covered late on, with the question, can current research into spirituality in childhood suggest useful practice in supporting the spirituality of people with dementia? (RH).
