Abstract

Unlike Western countries with a majority of Protestant citizens, initiatives in the field of spiritual care provision in Israel have involved mostly lay leadership and secular individuals from their very inception, rather than clergy and religious adherents. This religiously neutral position made it easier for spiritual care to be accepted across the varied sub-populations that compose the unique mosaic of Israeli culture. Adhering to a religiously neutral approach led to the use of a broader set of tools in order to reach people in their time of distress. Currently, there are about 130 certified spiritual caregivers in Israel who graduated from four accredited training programs. This article describes three short case studies, in which we can see the benefits of three such neutral approaches – connecting with nature, gentle touch, and non-theistic personal prayer.

非宗教精神关怀的三个简短案例研究：与自然的联系、温和的触摸和非有神论的个人祈祷

与以新教公民为主的西方国家不同，以色列在精神关怀领域的倡议从一开始就主要涉及非专业领导和世俗个人，而不是神职人员和宗教信徒。这种宗教中立的立场使精神关怀更容易被不同的亚群体所接受，这些亚群体构成了以色列文化的独特马赛克。坚持宗教中立的方法导致使用更广泛的工具来帮助处于痛苦中的人们。目前，以色列大约有130名经过认证的精神护理人员，他们毕业于四个经过认证的培训项目。这篇文章描述了三个简短的案例研究，从中我们可以看到三种这样的中立方法的好处——与自然联系，温柔的触摸，和非有神论的个人祈祷。

期刊介绍： Health and Social Care Chaplaincy is a peer-reviewed, international journal that assists health and social care chaplains to explore the art and science of spiritual care within a variety of contexts. The journal was founded in 2013 through the merger of the Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy (issn:1748-801X) and the Scottish Journal of Healthcare Chaplaincy (issn:1463-9920) . It continues to be the official journal of the College of Health Care Chaplains and members of the society receive the journal as part of their annual membership. For more details on membership subscriptions, please click on the ''members'' button at the top of this page. Back issues of both previous journals are being loaded onto this website (see Archives) and online access to these back issues is included in all institutional subscriptions. Health and Social Care Chaplaincy is a multidisciplinary forum for the discussion of a range of issues related to the delivery of spiritual care across various settings: acute, paediatric, mental health, palliative care and community. It encourages a creative collaboration and interface between health and social care practitioners in the UK and internationally and consolidates different traditions of discourse and communication research in its commitment to an understanding of psychosocial, cultural and ethical aspects of healthcare in contemporary societies. It is responsive to both ecumenical and interfaith agendas as well as those from a humanist perspective.
