A Handbook of Chaplaincy Studies explores fundamental issues and
critical questions in chaplaincy, spanning key areas of health
care, the prison service, education and military chaplaincy.
Leading authors and practitioners in the field present critical
insight into the challenges and opportunities facing those
providing professional spiritual care. From young men and women in
the military and in custody, to the bedside of those experiencing
life's greatest traumas, this critical examination of the role
played by the chaplain offers a fresh and informed understanding
about faith and diversity in an increasingly secular society. An
invaluable compendium of case-studies, academic reflection and
critical enquiry, this handbook offers a fresh understanding of
traditional, contemporary and innovative forms of spiritual
practice as they are witnessed in the public sphere. Providing a
wide-ranging appraisal of chaplaincy in an era of religious
complexity and emergent spiritualities, this pioneering book is a
major contribution to a relatively underdeveloped field and sets
out how the phenomenon of chaplaincy can be better understood and
its practice more robust and informed.
Chaplaincy highlights the need for faith and society to re-engage
with vital moral questions. Military chaplains continue to operate
within the dynamic tension between faith communities, the armed
services and society, offering a distinct moral presence and
contribution. Drawing the reader into the world of the military
chaplain, this book explores insights into the complex moral issues
that arise in combat (especially in Afghanistan), and in everyday
military life, These include the the increasing significance of the
Law of Armed Conflict and the moral significance of drones. Through
the unique chaplain's eye view of the significance of their
experience for understanding the ethics of war, this book offers
clearer understanding of chaplaincy in the context of the changing
nature of international conflict (shaped around insurgency and
non-state forces) and explores the response of faith communities to
the role of the armed services. It makes the case for relocating
understandings of just war within a theological framework and for a
clear understanding of the relationship between the mission of
chaplaincy and that of the military.

Medical imaging is an important and rapidly expanding area in
medical science. Many of the methods employed are essentially
digital, for example computerized tomography, and the subject has
become increasingly influenced by develop ments in both mathematics
and computer science. The mathematical problems have been the
concern of a relatively small group of scientists, consisting
mainly of applied mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Their
efforts have led to workable algorithms for most imaging
modalities. However, neither the fundamentals, nor the limitations
and disadvantages of these algorithms are known to a sufficient
degree to the physicists, engineers and physicians trying to
implement these methods. It seems both timely and important to try
to bridge this gap. This book summarizes the proceedings of a NATO
Advanced Study Institute, on these topics, that was held in the
mountains of Tuscany for two weeks in the late summer of 1986. At
another (quite different) earlier meeting on medical imaging, the
authors noted that each of the speakers had given, there, a long
introduction in their general area, stated that they did not have
time to discuss the details of the new work, but proceeded to show
lots of clinical results, while excluding any mathematics
associated with the area.

The 1999 international conference on Information Processing in
Medical Imaging (IPMI '99) was the sixteenth in the series of
biennial meetings and followed the successful meeting in Poultney,
Vermont, in 1997. This year, for the rst time, the conference was
held in central Europe, in the historical Hungarian town of Visegr
ad, one of the most beautiful spots not only on the Danube Bend but
in all Hungary. The place has many historical connections, both
national and international. The castle was once a royal palace of
King Matthias. In the middle ages, the Hungarian, Czech, and Polish
kings met here. Recently, after the summit meeting of reestablished
democracies in the area, it became a symbol for the cooperation
between central European countries as they approached the European
Union. It was thus also symbolic to bring IPMI, in the year of the
30th anniversary of its foundation, to this place, and organize the
meeting with the close cooperation of local and traditional western
organizers. It also provided a good opportunity to summarize brie?y
a history of IPMI for those who were new to the IPMI conference.
This year we received 82 full paper submissions from all over the
world. Of these, 24 were accepted as oral presentations. These were
divided into 6 sessions. In spite of our e orts, it was found to be
impossible to make these sessions fully balanced and homogeneous.

Chaplaincy is a rapidly growing ministry, but one that has been the
centre of little theological discussion. Focusing on understanding
what chaplaincy is and how it is exercised in different contexts,
this book intends to support the work of chaplains by providing a
theological examination of their ministry. The chapters in this
book discuss how the work of chaplains outside the structures of
the Church and yet frequently carried out by ministers authorized
by the Church relates to some of the key questions of how the
Church understands itself in relation to the world (i.e.
institutions and structures that are not part of the church),
whether or not the chaplains should engage in converting
non-Christians to Christianity, and how chaplaincy is carried out
both from within Christianity and in a multi-faith environment.
This book explores the role of chaplains and the benefits of
chaplaincy as a form of ministry as well as an examination of the
personal characteristics and disposition best suited to serving as
a chaplain. Chaplaincy and Christian Theology considers the nature
of chaplaincy in public spaces and the implications of Christian
theology within this ministry. Essential reading for chaplains,
students of theology, and anyone involved in Christian ministry and
Christian theology.
Through a rich variety of case studies, this book provides insight
into the patient's needs and the chaplain's perspective, as well as
discussions of spiritual assessments and spiritual care
interventions. Case studies such as a request to baptise a child
complicated due to his admission for 'psychiatric reasons', as well
as work with military veterans, such as a female transgender
veteran who has been alienated from her faith, show the breadth and
complexity of work that chaplains undertake daily. Each section
also includes critical responses to the case studies presented from
a chaplain and related healthcare professional. This book will
enable chaplains to critically reflect on the spiritual care they
provide, and provide an informed perspective for healthcare
professionals and others involved in chaplaincy services.
This innovative workbook enables students and those working in
health and social care to deepen their understanding of the values
that underpin their practice. Rich in practical exercises and
downloadable resources that invite the reader to engage with their
own values, it explores how values, though not often reflected on,
define the quality of care delivered. Supported by case studies and
including a glossary of key terms and concepts, the workbook
provides an overview of how values are adopted and adapted in
professional contexts across health and social care services. With
an emphasis on the ever-evolving nature of values, it examines
professional ethics through the lens of legislation, codes of
conduct, cost-effectiveness and whole-organisation management. This
unique resource allows readers to gain a clearer picture of what
their values are and how they can realistically implement them in
their work, thus achieving the highest possible quality of care
delivery.

Providing a bridge between research in healthcare and spirituality
and practitioner perspectives, these essays on chaplaincy in
healthcare continue dialogue around constructing, negotiating and
researching spiritual care and discuss the critical issues in
chaplaincy work, including assisted suicide and care in children's
hospices. Each section of the book is introduced by an academic
theologian, giving the book a strong theoretical base, before
serving healthcare chaplains offer their perspectives and
experiences with material drawn from practice in a broad spectrum
of healthcare contexts. The integration of theory and practical
application in these essays will be of interest to chaplains,
healthcare practitioners, and students of theology and healthcare.
