A Place of Healing: Working with Nature & Soul at the End of Life
by Michael Kearney, M.D.
ISBN: 978-1-228670-58-1
292 pp. (2009)
"Complementing physical treatment with such depth approaches as dreamwork, poetry, divination, and a revitalized connection with nature, Kearney, a palliative care specialist, allows us to begin to integrate scientific and psychological metaphors. We may thereby forge a more comprehensive and holistic response to the greatest challenges we all have to face: suffering and dying.
Through imaginative re-envisionings of the mythology and rites of ancient Greek Asklepian healing, Kearney helps us discover a way of recognizing and caring for the soul in its most critical moments and proposes a new model for the healing of suffering which draws on the best practices of both the medical and Asklepian traditions."
