Doctor, Will You Pray for Me?

Doctor, Will You Pray for Me? (Oxford University Press) by psychiatrist and bioethicist Klitzman explores how patients and families navigate spiritual and existential dilemmas in the face of serious illness and death in an increasingly polarized public where opinions on religion and spirituality often clash. Technology is reshaping our perceptions on the beginnings and ends of life, and chaplains are often called to step in to offer comfort and reframe understandings of illness in this new, uncharted territory. Through interviews and personal insights, Klitzman highlights the crucial, often overlooked role of chaplains in providing holistic, compassionate care during medical crises, offering hope for a more humane future for all patients.
