Pnei book - The theoretical foundations of the clinic of the spirit

The theoretical foundations of the clinic of the spirit by Dr. Paolo Lissoni, Dr. Giusy Messina, Dr. Franco Rovelli

"To be able to speak authoritatively about the Clinic of the Spirit or Clinical Spirituality, neither idyllic emotionality alone nor abstract intellectual theorizations alone are sufficient, behind which there is no real experience nor testimony of life. Nor would it be sufficient to be able to speak about Clinic of the Spirit to limit itself to adding to the common routine hospital medical management the meeting among sick people for a community moment of prayer, which can also have favorable effects on the patient's quality of soul life. [...] Which instead happens in almost all the experiences of Clinical Spirituality proposed and developed up to now in the world by all those Clinics that consider themselves spiritually oriented, is on the contrary _the simple addition of vaguely spiritual techniques to a medical practice, which in fact remains totally identical to herself._"
