Summary: Counseling People With Cancer
Review: Aldredge-Clanton provides a helpful and practical hope-theology framework for counseling people with cancer. She describes how counselors can listen carefully to patients,understand their current spiritual beliefs, and then offer them additional or different sacred images and stories so that they can make sense and meaning out of their experience. The author does an especially good job of suggesting sacred images and stories that honor nontraditional belief systems.
