Spiritual care. Soul survivors.

A survey of nursing and residential homes in the Trent region showed managers interpreted spiritual care very broadly, according favourite television programmes and countryside visits some spiritual significance.

[Scars of the soul--wounds of the body: plastic surgery and psychotherapy].

With the example of two case reports of chronic wounds the connection between somatic and psycho-social factors is shown on the basis of the biopsycho-social model of disease. Both in aetiology as well as in therapy the dilemma of "somatic OR psychic" can thereby be solved. The inclusion of psychotherapeutic interventions in conservative or surgical strategies increases the probability of healing.

Soul sisters: the St. John and Raynard nurses in nineteenth century London.

This paper uses the archives of the St John's training institution for nurses and the Raynard Mission to determine the extent to which cultural images and specialised space defined and drove the nursing profession in nineteenth and early twentieth century London. Emphasis is placed upon image and rhetoric, both sacred and secular, and the way the two combined to define the 'ideal' Victorian woman and nursing in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the understanding and treatment of illness. Research to date suggests that through a process of rationalisation of biblical and socio-cultural rhetoric, a specialisation of space, symbolic and literal, abstract and real was created; this enabled women to work in a gendered enclave, the organisational structure and rhetoric of which paralleled that of nunneries or convents. And even as the 'secular' became dominant in medical attitudes and treatment, the 'sacred'aspect of nursing and the emphasis placed upon it as being a vocation remained strong.

[Bodies and souls of Maxence van der Meersch. The gaze of a writer on medicine in France on the eve of the Second World War].

Maxence Van der Meersch, got the Prix Goncourt in 1937. He was an important writer between the two world wars, by his inspiration and his realism he was related to the naturalism school. His works reflect his life, from 1937, after having discovered the christian faith, he devoted his live to it and militated through his writing for his convictions. "Corps et âmes", published in 1943 is a painting of the medicine in France at the end of the thirties. When he was published the book raised up a sharp polemic, badly accepted by medical world because of its realism without concession, on another hand it was welcome by general public and litterary critics. In an university town the author stages physicians, students, nurses, administrators, politicians and many other characters to paint a vast fresco of medical world and society, during this time. In whole he gives a greater share to mental pathology with the advent of new therapeutics and to tuberculosis wich had a great medico-social importance. Taking a fancy for doctor Carton's neo hippocratics theories, he fully bound himself in his book to broadcast that he thinks to be a new medical truth and then was led to contest scientific medicine which had, for him, lost his humanity. Suffering of lung tuberculosis, holding fast to his convictions he rejected any therapeutics except his diets and died January the 13th 1951. Beside his spiritual and bound features, "Corps et âmes" the quality of documentation and the accuracy of descriptions remains a testimony about physicians and medicine at second world war eve.
