As the first step towards reaching this goal, the need for spiritual care training of clinicians is outlined, including the crucial step of nurturing one’s own spiritual life. Ways to identify and assess patients’ spiritual needs are explained. The experience of existential suffering is explored along with discussion of the ways it can manifest and how it can be addressed.
