I am a Christian doctor and at the outset, I make it clear to my patients my religious beliefs. However, in my approach to therapeutic intervention incorporating spirituality, I am fully conscious that it is important that physicians maintain the utmost respect for patients’ rights to autonomy and freedom of thought and belief. As such, the approach in therapeutic intervention will vary depending on each patient’s spiritual beliefs and convictions. Nevertheless, there are certain common denominators and principles derived from spirituality that can be helpful to all patients, irrespective of their faith and religion.
