The updated exercises at the end of each chapter encourage an essential element in the inculcation of these fundamental skillsreflection and personalization of the material to ones own story.

Even more notably  Dr. Davis has provided health professionals with a road map to personal growth and worth and a source of human behavior that will engender faith  trust  and open and honest interactions between patients and therapistsin short  a thesaurus and encyclopedia of the sacred trust that must exist for a successful humanitarian experience in the health care arena.
