The Journal of Health Care Chaplaincy This book is subtitled "a handbook for clinicians", but it is going to be welcomed by anyone who is seriously interested in the scientific research into NDEs, particularly clergy and those with a pastoral ministry. This is a collection of essays or papers, and this is both a strength and a drawback. For people who wish to look at specific aspects of the research, whether it is to compare NDEs in the East and West, or different cultures, religious affiliations, or those of adults and children, these are topics covered here.
The Sign Making Sense of Near-Death Experiences is an invaluable resource for clinicians and other health care professionals who need to inform themselves about the nature and profound personal significance of NDEs. Presenting the latest research and clinical findings representing over 30 years of work, leading experts in the field provide a comprehensive and illuminating overview of one of the most important and transformative experiences of modern times, one that has affected many millions of people. For everyone who comes into contact with such people and hopes to help and understand them, this book is a must.
Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Connecticut, Co-founder and past President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies Undergraduates, journalists and healthcare providers all point to the need for resources that familiarize and inform about NDEs. Making Sense of Near-Death Experiences offers readers just such a resource. ... [R]eaders will come away from this book with not only an understanding of diverse viewpoints about NDEs but also an awareness of the complexity of the field of near-death studies and an appreciation for the value of continued research in the field.
