ABSTRACT
This recension to the book
of Alejandro Parra aims to be a contribution on the various topics that the
theme on the experiences in “threshold
of death” addresses, namely,
paranormal phenomena experienced by several people, such as the nurses, and
that are impossible to be explained within the current biomedical model. In
this sense, the study of the concept of spirituality in health care could be an important topic to be approached in this area of research with
the purpose of better understanding the
patients who are in the process of “passing”, as well as expand the perspective
of the current biomedical model, so as
to take into consideration the human being in its various
dimensions: spiritual, psychological, and physical/biological.
KEYWORDS
experiences at the threshold of death, paranormal phenomena, the role of spirituality
