Coble, Richard The Chaplain's Presence and Medical Power: Rethinking Loss in the Hospital System

and interdisciplinary method of care for children, it lacks explicit clarity about the flow and structure of the spiritual care encounter. For example, Bull does a good job describing his two primary tools of the Fruit Tree and the Likert Scale exercises and the way he uses them. However, the lack of pictures, diagrams, and flow charts of the tools and process of using them makes it difficult to assimilate, operationalize, and integrate them quickly into one’s practice of care. Bull’s book also lacks explicit clarity about the role and level of involvement other members of the healthcare team have in this endeavor. At the beginning of the book, Bull states that his proposed method is intended to be a mutual, reciprocal activity that all practitioners use and share; yet, the clinical examples offered are limited to his own experience of administering care. Consequently, the reader is left to wonder whether or not this method is intended to be an activity that falls only in the realm of the spiritual care provider and whether the interdisciplinary nature is limited to the insights and information shared by the spiritual care provider to other members of the team. Further questions that linger about the interdisciplinary nature of Bull’s method are: How is the healthcare team brought on board with this practice of care? How are they trained in this method? How is information shared among members of the healthcare team? How does the information that a doctor or nurse may receive through engaging these activities of care impact the delivery of treatment? Overall, the strengths of this book and the importance of its contributions to the field in general, and to the spiritual care of children in particular, far outweigh its limitations. Anyone who reads this book will automatically enhance their knowledge and skills and their ability to engage the world of a child.
