Critic Reviews

“'Throughout the book Robinson uses case studies to illustrate and explore his themes to great effect. The discussion is clear and well structured. Each chapter ends with a concise summary - the conclusions then link in to the following chapter... Perhaps the lines on the back cover should read "This book should be essential reading for social workers, healthcare professionals and church pastoral practitioners".'- Scottish Journal of Healthcare Chaplaincy”
