| Annotation | This collection of papers is based on presentations made at the Third International Conference on Ageing and Spirituality. The three main aims of the conference were to: explore the growing knowledge and practice base of ageing and spirituality; bring researchers and practitioners together to examine spirituality in later life and strategies for providing best practice in aged care; and examine the latest developments in palliative care and ageing. Papers in Part I consider compassion, death and dying; also spiritual reminiscence work with people with dementia, and the spiritual needs of those who are dying including Buddhist and Christian perspectives. The last three papers (Part II) have a palliative care approach, and focus on providing appropriate care for older people who are dying. This volume has been published simultaneously as Journal of Religion, Spirituality & Aging, vol 18, nos 2/3, 2006. (RH). |
