Abstract
Philip Burnard looks at spirituality and the implications for the nurse-patient relationship Nurses care for all aspects of the person. Yet many would accept that to talk of a person is to talk of a being who has biological, psychological, sociological and spiritual reality, and a firm sense of his own separateness and uniqueness. This is not to say that the person is unique in every respect. Clearly, there is a great deal of our experience that is common to many if not all. Or, as Carl Roger's put it: 'What is most personal is most general' (1).Keywords
