Caritas Coaching: A Journey Toward Transpersonal Caring for Informed Moral Action in Healthcare

Nurses have historically been the heart of healing in the healthcare system. But today's care providers are often ill-prepared for the heavy toll of their day-today workload and its impact on their ability to be fully present for others. The dilemma? Accept things the way they are, or search for a different way.
Sara Horton-Deutsch and Jan Anderson present the Caritas Coach Education Program® (CCEP), based on the moral, ethical, philosophical, and practice principles of Caring Science. Caritas Coaching® provides nurses and other caregivers a deep, intimate look at how to infuse their practice with Caring Science, a scientific and philosophical context to explore, describe, and research human healing. By integrating Caring Science into their practice, nurses can balance information and technology with the human side of healthcare.Using shared experiences of caring moments, transpersonal journeys, and ongoing evolution, this book provides:
A teaching and learning guide for Caritas Coaches® who have completed the program
A resource for nurses whose hospitals have adopted Caring Science as their practice model
An inspiration for all nurses and healthcare professionals who seek a path to deeply care for self, individuals, families, and communities
