Abstract
This chapter discusses spiritual care in pediatric oncology. Each member of the psychosocial team has a role to fill in meeting the spiritual and religious needs of children who are diagnosed with cancer. Employing critical thinking and one's own unique skills, combined with openness and curiosity as well as deep regard for what children perceive and believe, is the starting point. Physical and psychosocial development and spiritual development are often established along similar trajectories. However, with children who are seriously ill, spiritual development frequently progresses more dramatically. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
